Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cervical, dorsal, and lumbar pain, often associated with sciatica, significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Herniated discs are a common cause of spinal pain, frequently necessitating surgical intervention.
  • Minimally invasive treatments are sought to reduce surgical risks and recovery times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of local steroid injections for managing spinal pain and sciatica.
  • To assess the impact of this treatment on the requirement for surgical intervention in patients with herniated discs.

Main Methods:

  • Digital subtraction epidurography was utilized for diagnostic exploration in 309 patients presenting with spinal pain or sciatica.
  • Patients subsequently received targeted local steroid injections as a therapeutic intervention.

  • Treatment outcomes, including failure rates and surgical necessity, were meticulously recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • The local steroid injection treatment demonstrated high efficacy, with a reported failure rate of only 5%.
    • A significant majority of patients experienced pain relief, with only 19% of those with herniated discs ultimately requiring surgery.
    • Digital subtraction epidurography proved effective in guiding the diagnostic and therapeutic process.

    Conclusions:

    • Local steroid injections represent a highly effective treatment modality for cervical, dorsal, and lumbar pain, as well as sciatica.
    • This minimally invasive approach substantially decreases the need for surgical procedures in patients with herniated discs.
    • Epidurography-guided steroid injections offer a safe and efficient alternative to surgery for spinal pain management.
