Brief Summary:
The aim of the present study is to investigate the safety and clinical utility of contralateral oblique view for fluoroscopic guided cervical epidural access.
Detailed Description:
A cervical epidural block is a widely used intervention to reduce pain in patients with cervicalgia or cervical radicular pain. To achieve a successful procedure, accurate access to the cervical epidural space is needed. However, careful attention is required for this cervical epidural procedure due to a possibility of serious complications such as spinal cord infarction and quadriplegia due to blood vessel damage, convulsion due to an intravascular drug administration, cerebral infarction due to vascular embolism, subdural or subarachnoid injection, hematoma, and spinal cord injury. Although the use of fluoroscopy improves the safety and accuracy of cervical epidural access, this technique still has significant drawbacks, such as false loss of resistance and difficulty in assessing the depth of the needle tip in lateral views in relation to the epidural space. To overcome this issue, cervical epidural access using the contralateral oblique (CLO) view has been introduced and the ideal angle of CLO view for the cervical spine is reported as 50 degrees.
However, it has not been reported on the safety and clinical utility of using the CLO view during cervical epidural access. Therefore, the investigators planned this study to observe the safety and clinical utility of the CLO view at 50 degrees for the cervical epidural block.
