Precision Treatment of Lumbar Spine Surgery Through Advanced Nerve Root Blockade
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The overall purpose of the study is to investigate whether selective spinal nerve root blocks can improve diagnostics of radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH), foraminal stenosis (FS), and recess stenosis (RS), and hence identify the patients that will benefit from surgical intervention.
