Comparison of Interlaminar CT Guided Epidural Platelet Rich Plasma Versus Steroid Injection in Patients With Lumbar Radicular Pain

Sponsor: Clinique du Sport, Bordeaux Mérignac

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).
