Summary

This study evaluates the incidence of intravascular injection during cervical transforaminal epidural block using blunt needle, compared to the sharp needle. The investigators will performed cervical transforaminal epidural block using blunt-type block needle in half of participants or sharp-type block needle in the other half.

Conditions

  • Pain
  • Radicular; Neuropathic, Cervical

Interventions

PROCEDURE

block with Blunt-type block needle.

Under fluoroscopic guidance, cervical transforaminal epidural injections were performed using 22 gauge blunt needle. The needle position was confirmed using biplanar fluoroscopy and 2 ml of nonionic contrast media was injected to detect intravascular injection.

PROCEDURE

block with sharp-type block needle.

Under fluoroscopic guidance, cervical transforaminal epidural injections were performed using 22 gauge sharp needle. The needle position was confirmed using biplanar fluoroscopy and 2 ml of nonionic contrast media was injected to detect intravascular injection.
