About this trial

The overall purpose of the study is to investigate whether selective spinal nerve root blocks can improve diagnostics of radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH), foraminal stenosis (FS), and recess stenosis (RS), and hence identify the patients that will benefit from surgical intervention.
