Abstract

Background: Low back pain in any community has a high prevalence acute SCIATICA does not usually have a very quick and effective non-operative remedy. Lingering disability and very stone return to work is a major finding in most cases. We aimed at testing the effect of early epidural STEROID injection in pain relief and in shortening the disability period.Methods: 40 patients referring to two hospitals in Mashhad with acute radiculor pain during one year period were had clinical and MRI proof of a DISC HERNIATION occurring within 6 weeks of their referral and had not responded to regular medical treatment for 2 to 3 weeks. After full evaluation and completing the “Prolo” scoring questionnaire, the patients were injected epidurally with 40mg of triam 4 inolone and 2% lidocaine for 3 times intervals. The cases were then assessed shortly after injection and in 3 and 6 months.Results: 25 male and 15 female cases were inclined in the study. Improvement SLR positivity was statistically evident after the third injection. Dramatic reduction in pain and therefore, anergesic medication use was observed in second and third follow-up (p<0.05). There was, however no statistically significant improvement in function or effectively (p>0.05). Over all 27.5% of patients were fully satisfied and 62.5% were partially satisfied with the results.Conclusions: Epidural STEROID injection following acute radiculor back pain has short term effect in pain control, but does not isoprene function or effectiveness of an individual to a significant degree.
