Outpatient epidural steroid injections for low back pain and lumbosacral radiculopathy.
A survey was done of 250 patients with low back pain and sciatica, treated as outpatients in a pain relief practice, with epidural steroid injections. Repeated injections improved the success rate and provided a safe, cost effective means of treatment without the necessity of hospital admission.
