An accomplished physician with more than 30 years of experience in pain management, Robert Windsor, MD, served as the chief executive officer and chief medical officer of National Pain Care, Inc., until 2016. Throughout his career, Robert Windsor, MD, has participated in clinical trials that examine topics such as cervical transforaminal injections.
At the time of this study, there was a considerable lack of available literature in the realm of cervical transforaminal injections. The researchers found this gap in peer-reviewed research when they set out to find information about these injections and the safest techniques for performing them.
The study team searched the MEDLINE and Embase medical registries for the purposes of this research. In their findings, they concluded that a universal standard of care for performing cervical transforaminal injections was lacking. As a result, they called for more research in this area to assess the risks of the procedure and determine a set of best practices for performing the injections.
