Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Forceful epidural injections for the treatment of lumbosciatic pain with post-operative lumbar spinal fibrosis.
To evaluate the efficacy of forceful epidural corticosteroid injections in lumbosciatic pain ascribed to post-operative lumbar spinal fibrosis. ⋯ Although mediocre overall, the results of forceful epidural corticosteroid injections are better than those of simple epidural injections of a corticosteroid alone. Given the paucity of effective treatments for lumbosciatic pain apparently due to postoperative fibrosis, forceful injections should be given a place in the treatment of this condition.
