Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who are already planning to receive an epidural steroid injection from their physiatrist will be approached by study members on the day of their injection. If enrolled, the patients will be contacted every 3 days for 23 days to determine the severity of pain and degree of pain relief from the injection.
