Official title
Epidural Steroid Injection Versus Epidural Steroid Injection and Manual Physical Therapy and Exercise in the Management of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis; a Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a prevalent and disabling condition in the rapidly growing aging population. People with LSS often have a substantial physical and psychosocial burden as well as significant healthcare costs affecting both the individual and society. It has been reported that patients with LSS over the age of 65 are more likely to undergo spinal surgery than any other condition with an estimated total annual inpatient expense of one billion. Individuals undergoing surgical treatment for LSS tend to be older, therefore operative morbidity and mortality are a particular concern. Functional benefit derived from conservative treatment may increase the health and quality of life for individuals suffering from LSS and avoid or delay the need for surgery in some subjects. As the population continues to age, identifying effective non-surgical treatment options for older patients with LSS is an important research priority. Ultimately, the information gained from this study will help fill a significant void in medical literature regarding non-surgical options for this patient population.
