Research Article: Modified transforaminal epidural steroid injection combined with pulsed radiofrequency: an effective treatment measure for lumbar radiculopathy
Abstract:
Background: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a prevalent condition encountered in the clinical diagnosis and management of spinal surgery. Certain people may experience excruciating radicular pain in the lower extremities. If these symptoms are not promptly alleviated, they may progressively deteriorate, ultimately resulting in radiating pain in the lower extremities, advancing neurological impairments, and potential trouble in standing, significantly impairing the patient's quality of life. Consequently, clinicians require an expedited and efficacious approach to address radicular discomfort resulting from lumbar radiculopathy and promptly reinstate the patient's normal functionality.
Introduction:
Objectives: This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a modified transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) in conjunction with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) for treating lumbar radiculopathy using a retrospective analysis.
