ASIPP guidelines are practical and informative: need a correction.

I enjoyed reading the guidelines provided by the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (Pain Physician 2007; 10:7-111). The guidelines are extensive, informative, and practical. These continue to be an asset for practices in interventional pain management since 2005. However, I would like to point out an error. In the evidence section for transforaminal epidural steroid injections (Section 6.2.3.2), the evidence for interlaminar epidural steroid injections is duplicated from Section 6.2.2.2. The evidence in both sections reads as follows: “In managing lumbar radicular pain with interlaminar lumbar epidural steroid injections, the evidence is strong for short-term relief and limited for long-term relief. In managing cervical radiculopathy with cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injections, the evidence is moderate for short-term improvement and long-term improvement. The evidence is indeterminate in the management of axial neck pain, axial low back pain, and lumbar spinal stenosis.” I will appreciate appropriate correction.
