ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two treatments for people suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition that causes narrowing of the spinal canal, which can lead to pain in the lower back and legs. The trial is comparing a type of injection called a caudal epidural steroid injection with another treatment known as caudal epidural pulsed radiofrequency stimulation. The goal is to see which method provides better relief from pain and reduces the need for medication.

To participate in the study, individuals should be between 65 and 74 years old and have been experiencing back and leg pain for at least three months due to lumbar spinal stenosis. However, people who have had previous back surgery, are pregnant, have certain serious health issues, or are taking specific medications may not be eligible. Those who join the trial can expect to receive one of the two treatments and will be monitored for pain relief and any side effects. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's a great opportunity for those looking for effective ways to manage their pain.
