ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how different types of catheters can affect the success of a treatment called percutaneous caudal adhesolysis in patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). FBSS can occur when people continue to have pain after having back surgery, and this trial aims to find out which catheter type might work better for this procedure. The study is currently not recruiting participants, but it will eventually look for adults aged 18 and older who have had back surgery at least six months ago and have not found relief with standard medications.

To participate, individuals must not have certain conditions like cauda equina syndrome, and pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded. Participants in this trial will receive treatment using one of the catheter types being studied and will be monitored for its effectiveness. This trial is important because it could help improve pain relief options for individuals who are struggling with ongoing back pain after surgery.
