Analgesic Efficacy of Epidural Neuroplasty via Racz Catheter During Lumbar Fixation In Situ for Lumbosacral Spondylolisthesis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Epidural neuroplasty using a Racz catheter during lumbar fixation provides enhanced short-term analgesia, functional recovery, and patient satisfaction compared with conventional lumbar treatment in Grade-1 spondylolisthesis, without increased adverse effects, providing preliminary evidence that warrants validation in larger, long-term studies. <b>Trial Registration:</b> ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06684821.
