Epidural injectionCaudalLow back painDiscogenic painSteroids, herniated discThere is no consensus on the treatment of chronic low back pain of disk origin in the medical literature. The few prospective, randomized, controlled studies evaluating the effectiveness of caudal epidural steroid injections (CESI...
However, in adults this technique has been widely used to control chronic pain by adjuvant use of fluoroscopy. Thus, the ability to locate the hiatus and define anatomical variations is the main determinant of the success and safety of caudal epidural anesthesia. In this context, the use of ...
tests such as MRIs can show disc bulges and nerve root compression, but may not show a torn and leaking disc. A lumbar epidural injection may provide relief if disc problems, or dural, or nerve root in ammation are causing your pain. What is a lumbar caudal epidural steroid injection?

Objective: To assess and document using fluoroscopy the epidural flow patterns and the volume of injectate required to reach the L4/5 and L5/S1 disc levels after caudal epidural steroid injection.doi:10.1080/1355297X.2000.11736100Bryan, Blackshear M...
(LDP) and degenerative facet osteoarthropathy (DFO);the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound (US) guided, fluoroscopy (FL) guided, Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI), lumbar epidural steroid injections (LESI), and blinding lumbosacral steroid injections (LSPSI) in...
Results: We got the response from 22 consultants (Response rate 73 %) There was considerable variation in the use of X-ray/Fluoroscopy, use of anesthetic agent and steroid and efficacy rate quoted to the patients. Conclusion: Despite the longevity of the practice of Caudal Epidural injections ...
Background: The caudal approach to the epidural space has been used for decades to treat low back pain caused by lumbosacral root compression. The use of fluoroscopy during epidural steroid injection is the preferred method for placing the needle more accurately in the sacral hiatus, but it ...
