Answered by AI

What are the anticipated results that researchers hope to achieve through this experimental investigation?

"The primary objective of this clinical trial, monitored at various intervals including a baseline and post-procedure assessments up to one year, is to evaluate the levels of Alanine transaminase (ALT). Secondary endpoints include the assessment of pain through the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), which utilizes an 11-point scale ranging from 0 for no pain to 10 indicating extreme discomfort. Additionally, functional outcomes will be measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire that quantifies disability on a percentage basis with higher scores reflecting greater impairment. The Roland Morris disability questionnaire (RMQ) will also be employed to gauge pain"

Answered by AI

What are the risks associated with Lumbar Injection Arm for individuals?

"The safety evaluation conducted by our team at Power rated Lumbar Injection Arm with a score of 1 due to its Phase 1 trial status, indicating minimal available data on both safety and efficacy."
