Modic changes (MC) have been linked with low back pain (LBP) and worse outcomes from some treatments. No studies have investigated the impact that MCs may have on patient outcomes from lumbar facet injections. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to i
is limited.1 Despite the lack of strong evidence supporting the use of epidural steroid injections (ESIs) for lumbar spinal stenosis, their use has increased dramatically since 2000.2 This multicentre, randomised trial compared the effectiveness of ESIs with lidocaine to epidural injections of lidocaine...
The evidence supporting non-surgical treatments, including oral medications, physical treatments and spinal injections, is limited.1 Despite the lack of strong evidence supporting the use of epidural steroid injections (ESIs) for lumbar spinal stenosis, their use has increased dramatically since 2000.2 ...
Overall, Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are well tolerated and represent a much less invasive option than surgery. ESIs have been performed for many decades and are generally considered a very safe and moderately effective treatment for back and leg pain. When performed by an experienced ...

Objective: To determine if improvements in pain after epidural steroid injections (ESIs) were related to electromyographic (EMG) findings in patients with radicular symptoms and clinical findings consistent with radiculopathy. Design: Retrospective chart review. Setting: Multisite spine clinic. Patients: ...
