Discogenic Low Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Transforaminal Epidural Injection in Chronic Discogenic Low Back Pain
Lumbar disc herniation is the main cause of low back pain and radicular leg pain. Steroids
administered to the epidural area reduce the inflammatory response and pain by inhibiting the
synthesis of proinflammatory agents. Epidural steroid injections are used in the treatment of
lumbosacral radicular pain with various techniques including fluoroscopy-guided
transforaminal and interlaminar injection.
Ultrasound-guided erector spina plan block (ESPB) was first described in 2016 and has been
used for postoperative analgesia in many surgeries including thoracic and lumbar dermatomes.
The distribution of local anesthesia in the ESPB from the paravertebral area to the
transforaminal and epidural space has been shown in studies.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided ESPB and fluoroscopic
guided transforaminal epidural steroid injection in chronic discogenic low back pain.
