Summary
prospectively validate a fibronectin-aggrecan complex as a biomarker for response to ESI for radiculopathy with HNP
Detailed description
We will measure levels of the protein complex in the epidural space of patients undergoing lumbar ESI for radiculopathy with HNP. We assess functional outcomes at baseline and after treatment with the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 instrument (SF-36). Our hypothesis was that the complex is present in patients with clinically significant functional improvement after ESI.
