Effectiveness of therapeutic lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections in managing lumbar spinal pain.

Abstract

In summary, the evidence is good for radiculitis secondary to disc herniation with local anesthetics and steroids and fair with local anesthetic only; it is fair for radiculitis secondary to spinal stenosis with local anesthetic and steroids; and limited for axial pain and post surgery syndrome using local anesthetic with or without steroids.
