Brief Summary:

This is a research study of SP-102, an experimental medication designed to relieve pain in patients with a specific type of leg pain. The medication is given once by your healthcare professional, with a possibility of a second injection as early as about 1 month after the first treatment.

The purpose of the study is to measure how well a single injection of the experimental medication, SP-102, relieves pain. The study will also investigate the side effects of SP-102.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean Change From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 4 in the Mean Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Average Pain Score in the Affected Leg [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4 Weeks ]
    The NPRS is an 11-point scale (0 to 10-point scale where 0 was no pain and 10 was worst pain imaginable) that allowed the subject to rate the severity of their pain intensity at various points in time.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean Change From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 4 in the Oswestry Disability Index Score (ODI) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4 Weeks ]
    The ODI is the gold standard for measuring degree of disability and estimating quality of life in a person with low back pain. The ODI is a questionnaire completed by the subject that assesses10 topics: intensity of pain, lifting, ability to care for oneself, ability to walk, ability to sit, sexual function, ability to stand, social life, sleep quality, and ability to travel. Each question was scored on a scale of 0-5 with 0 indicating the least amount of disability and 5 indicating the most severe disability. The scores for all questions answered were summed, then multiplied by 2 to obtain the index (range 0 to 100). Zero was equated with no disability and 100 was the maximum disability possible.
