Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adult chronic pain patients who are currently on anticoagulant therapy and are considering caudal analgesia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who refuse caudal analgesia will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study assesses the safety and efficacy of caudal analgesia in chronic pain patients who are on anticoagulant therapy. It aims to analyze prospective clinical data to determine whether caudal analgesia can be safely administered without significant risk of complications such as epidural bleeding. The study will evaluate treatment outcomes and any adverse effects associated with the procedure in this specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a safe pain management option for chronic pain patients who require anticoagulation.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on this specific approach, similar studies have explored caudal analgesia in various patient populations, indicating potential for success.
