NCT ID NCT07487935
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records of 40 adults with chronic leg pain from back problems who had a procedure called caudal epidural adhesiolysis. The procedure uses a thin tube to break up scar tissue around spinal nerves. Researchers want to find out which patient traits or procedure details lead to better pain relief. The goal is to help doctors choose the right patients for this treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
caudal epidural adhesiolysis (a minimally invasive procedure to break up scar tissue around spinal nerves)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors identify which patients with chronic back and leg pain are most likely to benefit from this procedure, leading to better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center retrospective study (only 40 patients) that looks back at medical records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other clinics or patient groups.
