Clinical Trial: 10% Dextrose Versus Triamcinolone Injections After Pulsed Radiofrequency for Herniated Nucleus Pulposus

U.S., Aug. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07757321) titled '10% Dextrose Versus Triamcinolone Injections After Pulsed Radiofrequency for Herniated Nucleus Pulposus' on July 30.

Brief Summary: Lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) is a common cause of chronic low back pain and radiculopathy. Transforaminal epidural steroid injection is commonly used as an adjuvant following pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment but is associated with potential steroid-related adverse effects.
