Condition(s) studied

Herniated Disc

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Epidural Steroid InjectionEpidural platelet-rich plasma injection

Epidural Steroid Injection: Intervention consists of interlaminar CT guided epidural steroid injection

Epidural platelet-rich plasma injection: Intervention consists of interlaminar CT guided epidural platelet-rich plasma injection after recovery of plasma by blood sampling and centrifugation

Study summary

The treatment of persistent lumbar radicular pain (LRP) using CT-guided epidural steroid injection (ESI) is widely used and associated with rare but serious complications. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which has recently been shown to promote healing and the anti-inflammatory process by delivering growth factors and cytokines, could be an alternative and potentially safer option. A previous study showed that PRP was as effective as ESI in treating this condition, without major complications.

This study aims to compare these two treatments over the long term (2 years).
