Therapeutic Effect of Computed Tomography- Guided Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection in Patients with Persistent Low Back Pain and Unilateral Radiculopathy due to Single-Level Lumbar Disc Prolapse: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Abstract: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the efficacy and safety of computed tomography guided transforaminal epidural steroid injection in adults with persistent unilateral lumbar radiculopathy due to single level disc prolapse unresponsive to conservative therapy. Thirty patients underwent intervention and were assessed using Numeric Rating Scale and Oswestry Disability Index at baseline and follow up intervals up to three months. Significant reductions in pain and disability scores were observed with a mean pain reduction of approximately seventy percent at three months. No major complications were reported. The findings suggest that computed tomography guided transforaminal epidural steroid injection is a safe minimally invasive option for short to intermediate term symptom relief in carefully selected patients.
