Measure
Cervical Interlaminar With Lidocaine
Group #1: Interlaminar cervical ESI at the C7-T1 level with triamcinolone acetonide 80 mg (40 mg/mL) + 2 mL 1% lidocaine (total volume 4 mL). cervical interlaminar with lidocaine: Interlaminar cervical epidural steroid injection at the C7-T1 level with triamcinolone 80 mg (40 mg/mL) + 2 mL 1% lidocaine. Lidocaine: 2 mL lidocaine to be used as steroid diluent in group #1 cervical interlaminar procedure. Triamcinolone Acetonide: 2 mL of 40 mg/mL will be used as the steroid in group #1 and group #2 cervical interlaminar procedures.
Cervical Interlaminar With Normal Saline
Group #2: Interlaminar cervical ESI at the C7-T1 level with triamcinolone acetonide 80 mg (40 mg/mL) + 2 mL preservative saline (total volume 4 mL). cervical interlaminar with normal saline: Interlaminar cervical epidural steroid injection at the C7-T1 level with triamcinolone 80 mg (40 mg/mL) + 2 mL preservative saline Triamcinolone Acetonide: 2 mL of 40 mg/mL will be used as the steroid in group #1 and group #2 cervical interlaminar procedures. Normal saline: 2 mL of normal saline to be used as steroid diluent in group #2 cervical interlaminar procedure.
