Comparison of Lateral Parasagittal Approach and Transforaminal Epidural Approach in Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
Comparison of Lateral Parasagittal Approach and Transforaminal Epidural Approach in Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
Lumbar epidural injection is used in the treatment of lumbar radicular pain. There are three different application methods: lateral parasagittal, midline interlaminar and transforaminal epidural injection. Investigator aimed to compare lateral parasagittal and transforaminal epidural injection methods. The purpose of the study is to determine which method is more efficient.
It was planned to recruit 60 participants in the study. Interlaminar epidural steroid injection will be applied to 30 patients with midline and 30 patients with lateral parasagittal approach. All patients will receive Oswestry disability index before and 2-4-12 weeks after the procedure. All patients will receive Somatization Amplification Scale (SSAS) before the treatment. The results of the patients will be compared. It will be investigated which method is more effective.
