Particulate or Non-Particulate Steroids for Lumbar Transforaminal Injections - 2017 Update
Fact: All particulate corticosteroid preparations have been implicated in rare cases of paraplegia, whereas no definitive evidence exists of paraplegia resulting from injection of non-particulate steroids. Studies directly comparing the effectiveness of particulate and non-particulate steroids largely show no differences between the two, with respect to relief of pain, restoration of function, ...
متن کاملParticulate vs Non-Particulate Steroids for Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Current Literature.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of particulate and non-particulate steroids in patients receiving epidural steroid injections remains unclear.

متن کاملThe noninferiority of the nonparticulate steroid dexamethasone vs the particulate steroids betamethasone and triamcinolone in lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether a nonparticulate steroid (dexamethasone, 10 mg) is less clinically effective than the particulate steroids (triamcinolone, 80 mg; betamethasone, 12 mg) in lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs) in subjects with radicular pain with or without radiculopathy. DESIGN Retrospective observational study with noninferiority analysis of dexamethasone rel...
متن کاملAdding Particulate or Non-Particulate Steroids to the Local Anesthetics When Performing Parasagittal Interlaminar Epidural Injections.
We read with great interest a recent study by Ghai et al (1) wherein they followed 56 out of 69 randomized patients for 12 months following parasagittal interlaminar (PIL) injection with local anesthetics (LA) alone or LA with steroid (LS). We agree with author’s choice of technique to achieve adequate and consistent ventral epidural spread of injectate. Parasagittal interlaminar epidural stero...
