Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Reduction of radiculopathy and pain with Oxiplex/SP gel after laminectomy, laminotomy, and discectomy: a pilot clinical study.
Safety using Oxiplex/SP Gel during single-level discectomy for reduction of symptoms associated with unilateral herniation of the lumbar disc was investigated by self-assessment questionnaire and magnetic resonance imaging. ⋯ Oxiplex/SP Gel was easy to use and safe for patients undergoing unilateral discectomy. Greater benefit in clinical outcome measures was seen in gel-treated patients, especially those with severe leg pain and weakness at baseline.
