Evaluation the Impact of the "Pas" Technique Versus the "Standard" Technique on Radiation Exposure
NCT06918197 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare both techniques and analyze the data from the "Standard" technique to help design the "PAS" technique. In the "PAS" technique, investigators predetermine the distances from the needles and place them all together using our initial target needle marker in the objective anatomic landmark. Will randomized patients assigning them either in cohort 1 control "Standard" of care technique and cohort 2 "PAS" technique. After only utilizing the "Standard" of care technique, will obtain the measurements and distances from the needles inserted in patients under fluoroscopic guidance for the different pain procedures. The data will help demonstrate that is possible to predict the needle placement replicating with confidence good outcomes using the "PAS" technique to reduce the radiation exposure and time. Our data will justify the use of the "PAS" technique to become an alternative to the "Standard" of care technique for a faster, efficient, and replicable needle placement for diminished radiation exposure, to avoid complications and consistent good outcomes

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06918197
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06918197 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 212 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Orthospine Advance Health, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Back Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which PAS Technique is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06918197 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
