Trial of glucocorticoids in acute sciatica [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Sciatica is a debilitating pain condition characterised by pain radiating to the leg from the lower back. But there is currently no simple solution to relieve this pain. In this clinical trial, we will investigate whether oral steroids, a simple, low-cost treatment, taken over a 5-week period can indeed reduce leg pain, improve other important outcomes and be reasonably tolerated in patients with acute sciatica.
