Sciatica Leg Pain Study
We are conducting a study to test an injection for pain in individuals that have neuropathic pain from Lumbosacral Radiculopathy (Sciatica leg pain)
What to expect:
We are conducting a study testing an investigational injection to help reduce the pain associated with Lumbosacral Radiculopathy or “Sciatica”(pain that radiates down the legs from the lower back). Male and female participants, ages 18-70, who are selected to participate in the study may receive no cost investigational injection, study related care and be compensated for time and travel.
The study will consist of a screening visit, a dosing visit within 28 days of screening, up to 6 follow-up calls, and up to 7 follow-ups during study participation, which lasts up to 13 months.
What is Lumbosacral Radiculopathy?
Lumbosacral radiculopathy is a condition in which a disease process affects the function of one or more lumbosacral nerve roots. The most common cause is disc herniation or degenerative spinal stenosis leading to root compression. This can manifest as pain, numbness, or weakness of the buttock and leg. This causes pain in the leg rather than in the lumbar spine.
What causes Lumbosacral Radiculopathy?
There are many potential causes of radiculopathy, including poor lifting technique, poor posture, and back injuries. Radiculopathy can be caused by a variety of conditions or injuries, including: a herniated disc, when a disc protrudes, compressing the nerve root.
What is the difference between sciatica and lumbosacral radiculopathy?
Radiculopathy refers to nerve irritation caused by damage to the disc between the vertebrae. When nerves are irritated in the low back from degenerative disc disease, the condition is called lumbar radiculopathy, and it often causes the commonly recognized “sciatica” pain that shoots down a lower extremity.
