Summary

This study tests two different injection locations for a nerve block to treat chronic low back and buttock pain caused by a trapped nerve. 54 adults with pain lasting over 3 months will receive an ultrasound-guided injection of numbing and anti-inflammatory medicine. The goal is to see which injection spot provides better pain relief and function over time.
