Protocol summary

Study aim
ِDetermination of the efficacy of hyaluronidase and steroid epidural injection compared with hypertonic saline and steroid epidural injection
Design
In this research , 30 eligible patients will be divided randomly into two groups. First group will receive saline 5% 15cc, methylprednisolone 80 mg, and marcaine 4cc while the second group will receive hyalorunidase 1500 IU , methylprednisolone 80 mg, and marcaine 4cc.the injection will be done under fluoroscopic guide and after contrast media injection to confirm the best site for injection . appropriate life style and low back exercise will be educated to both groups. Both groups will complete VAS , oswestry disability index and quebec back pain disability scale questionnaires before the procedure and 2, 4 and 8 weeks after procedure. The data will be statistically analyzed by a person who will be blinded to the treatment to compare these 2 methods in pain reduction and improving patient’s function.
