Fluoroscopically guided caudal epidural steroid injections in degenerative lumbar spine stenosis.
BACKGROUND Caudal epidural steroid injections are commonly utilized to help reduce radicular pain in lumbar spinal stenosis. There have been studies done to evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure non-fluoroscopically guided. Search revealed no prospective studies evaluating the effectiveness of fluoroscopically guided caudal epidural injections on patients with bilateral radicular pain fr...
متن کاملEpidural steroid injections for lumbar spinal stenosis
Degenerative lumbar stenosis is a common source of pain and disability in the elderly. It presents clinically with a variety of symptoms, though neurogenic claudication is the hallmark. There is a multifactorial pathogenesis to lumbar stenosis and its symptoms, and thus, there are multiple management approaches available. Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a popular choice in management, ho...
متن کاملFluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural dry needling for lumbar spinal stenosis using a specially designed needle
BACKGROUND This report describes the methodological approach and clinical application of a minimally invasive intervention to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). METHODS Thirty-four patients with LSS underwent fluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural dry needling using a specially designed flexed Round Needle. The needle was inserted 8-12 cm lateral to the midline at the level of the s...
متن کاملThe role of fluoroscopy in cervical epidural steroid injections: an analysis of contrast dispersal patterns.
STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, retrospective analysis of cervical epidurograms. OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of the loss of resistance (LOR) technique in identifying the cervical epidural space. To delineate the pattern of epidural contrast spread during cervical epidural steroid injections. BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that if performed without fluoroscopy, the LOR tech...
متن کاملLumbar interlaminar epidural injections are superior to caudal epidural injections in managing lumbar central spinal stenosis.
BACKGROUND Epidural injections are performed to manage lumbar central spinal stenosis pain utilizing caudal, interlaminar, and transforaminal approaches. The literature on the efficacy of epidural injections in managing lumbar central spinal stenosis pain is sparse; lacking multiple, high quality randomized trials with long-term follow-up. METHODS Two randomized controlled trials of the cauda...
