Caudal epidural steroid injections.
The caudal approach to the epidural space was first reported in 1901. Injection of steroids to treat low back pain was introduced in 1952. Caudal epidural steroid injection is a safe, effective technique when performed with appropriate care under fluoroscopic visualization. Caudal epidural injections are associated with inaccurate needle placement when performed blindly in a substantial number ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Fluoroscopic Caudal Epidural Steroid Injections
In contrast to this statement by Southern et al (1), Manchikanti et al (2-4) evaluated the role of caudal epidural injections in chronic low back pain in two prospective and one retrospective evaluation. Particularly in one study (3), they evaluated the role of caudal epidural injections in discogram positive and negative chronic low back pain, utilizing the International Association for the St...
متن کاملEvaluation of fluoroscopic caudal epidural steroid injections.
To the Editor: Two articles, one by Botwin (1) and the other by Manchikanti (2), in the January 2004 edition of Pain Physician helped confirm that patterns of epidural injections exist, depending on the site of injection among other variables. Botwin concluded that ventral spread, considered the target site, only occurs 36% of the time with interlaminar injections, and bilateral spread only 16%...
متن کاملLumbar interlaminar epidural injections are superior to caudal epidural injections in managing lumbar central spinal stenosis.
BACKGROUND Epidural injections are performed to manage lumbar central spinal stenosis pain utilizing caudal, interlaminar, and transforaminal approaches. The literature on the efficacy of epidural injections in managing lumbar central spinal stenosis pain is sparse; lacking multiple, high quality randomized trials with long-term follow-up. METHODS Two randomized controlled trials of the cauda...
متن کاملultrasound as a screening tool for performing caudal epidural injections
background the caudal approach to the epidural space has been used for decades to treat low back pain caused by lumbosacral root compression. the use of fluoroscopy during epidural steroid injection is the preferred method for placing the needle more accurately in the sacral hiatus, but it carries the risk of radiation hazard. objectives the aim of the study was to assess the anatomical structu...
