Clinical Study
Amniotic Fluid Epidural Injection for People with Low Back and Hip Pain caused by pressure on the Spinal Cord
Lumbosacral radicular pain is in the low back and hip caused by pressure on the spinal cord. The human amniotic fluid epidural injection is a new way to reduce this pain. Corticosteroid dexamethasone is the standard of care to improve symptoms. Research is needed to learn which is more effective at helping people with the condition. The information we learn will aid future patients.
