-
Design
-
This study is a double-blinded clinical trial with parallel control groups.the study is a pilot study and 45 patients in tree groups have involved..
-
Settings and conduct
-
45 patients devided to tree groups.group TH received triamcinolone 20 mg,ropivacaine 0.2% 3cc,hyaluronidase 1500 units.group TO received triamcinolone 20 mg,ropivacaine 0.2% and ozone 39 macro 5cc.group TH received triamcinolone 20 mg, ropivacaine 0.2% 3cc, hyaluronidase 1500 units and ozone 39 macro 5cc.After transferring patients to the Rasool Akram hospital interventional pain procedure room,hydration achieved using normal saline 500cc.patient was placed in a prone position.local anesthesia was achieved by subcutaneous administration of 3cc lidocaine 1% injection.Then transforaminal lumbar epidural injection was done.the patients were then transferred to the pre-anesthesia care unit for monitoring vital signs, pain scores, and neurological adverse events.They were discharged home in the care of a responsible adult.Pain score (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI) and consumed-drugs measured after 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months.
