Are you Eligible?

If you have pain that radiates from your lower back down into your leg, you may have sciatica – a painful condition that affects millions of Americans each year. The most common cause of sciatica is a bulging disc in the lower spine, and the pain can be quite severe. If you’re struggling with sciatica pain, you may qualify for a new research study, now being offered at select centers throughout the U.S. The study is for an investigational treatment designed to relieve sciatica pain. It involves a single injection that does not contain steroids or opioids. If you qualify and choose to participate, you will receive all study-related care at no cost.

About the Study Sciatica is the name given to pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, a long nerve that begins in the lower spine and extends down the back of each leg. The most common cause of sciatica is a bulging or herniated disc in the lower spine, which pushes against the sciatic nerve. Sciatica pain varies from person to person. The location of the pain can be anywhere along the path of the sciatic nerve – ranging from the lower back and buttock, down behind the thigh and into the calf. The pain can feel like a cramp or may be excruciating and can make sitting or standing very difficult. For others, it is a sharp or shooting pain, or a “pins and needles” feeling. Right now, doctors at select centers in the US are conducting a new research study for sciatica sufferers. The study is for an investigational treatment designed to provide long-term relief of sciatica pain. It involves a single injection that does not contain steroids or opioids. If you’ve been struggling with sciatica leg pain for at least 6 weeks, or have been told you have a bulging disc, this study may be right for you.
