Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this proposed research is to assess the preliminary efficacy of dietary interventions that change dietary fats in improving clinical outcomes related to lumbar radicular pain. After a two-week baseline, consented participants are randomized to one of two diets. Key foods consistent with the diet are provided for 12 weeks along with extensive dietary counseling and support from the study-provided materials. Participants are encouraged to follow the assigned diet for another 6 weeks without provision of food. Participants complete questionnaires at baseline, randomization, and after 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 18 weeks on the diet. They provide blood samples at randomization (2 weeks) and after 12 and 18 weeks on the diet.
