Ultrasound-guided LMBB by Caudal-cranial Approach: Radiographic Comparison of a New Ultrasound-guided Method

NCT05930236 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The current standard technique is radiography requiring three uni- or bilateral punctures (transverse-axial plane). The ultrasound technique is also described mainly in this plan but a new "caudal-cranial" ultrasound-guided technique was described by Chang et al in 2018 in which the major axis is used to conduct the needle to the desired area. The investigators would like to confirm that this new technique in a single puncture is also possible under ultrasound.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low-back Pain
  • Lumbar Facet Joint Syndrome

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Lumbar medial branch block

The lumbar medial branch block on three lumbar levels (L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1) will be performed by ultrasound-guidance in a longitudinal plane and the correct placement of the needle will be verified by radiography to show if the two modalities are equivalent.
