Caudal Analgesia & Anticoagulated Patient

Caudal analgesia is an effective intervention for lumbosacral pain. Some chronic pain patients take anticoagulants for vasculopathy treatment. Anticoagulation limits the use of caudal analgesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Caudal analgesia may be safe and effective in anticoagulated chronic pain patients.

Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. Evaluation of caudal analgesia efficacy and safety in anticoagulated chronic pain patients. Analysis of outcome, and complications.

About this study

Caudal analgesia is an effective interventional therapy for chronic lumbosacral pain. Some chronic pain patients take anticoagulants for vasculopathy treatment. Anticoagulation limits the use of caudal analgesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Anticoagulation may be discontinued briefly, to allow caudal injection. Interruption of anticoagulation may be difficult and dangerous for some high-risk patients. Caudal analgesia may be safe and effective in anticoagulated chronic pain patients.

Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. An evaluation of caudal analgesia safety in anticoagulated chronic pain patients. An analysis of treatment outcome, and complications.

Procedure

Caudal analgesia for chronic lumbosacral pain

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain score, objective measurement using the validated Numeric Pain Rating scale

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Pain score, using the Numeric Pain Rating scale of 0 to 10, low scores indicate less pain, high scores indicate worse pain
