Low back pain is a distinctly different condition from lumbar radicular pain (sometimes called "sciatica"). Radicular pain is lancinating pain that travels into the lower limb along a narrow band [1]. It is caused by disc herniation, foraminal stenosis, lateral recess stenosis, or other space...
Epidural Injections are an integral part of the non-surgical management of radicular pain from spine disorders. Radicular pain is often described as a sharp, burning, or shooting pain that originates from the low back and travels down to the lower extremities (or from the neck to the upper ...
Each year, an estimated 5 million to 9 million people receiveepidural steroid injectionsfor back pain, a procedure that is often regarded as preferable to surgery. But though it may be less invasive, it, too, carries steep risks and questionable effectiveness. During this procedure, a mixture o...
injections of TGF-β1 significantly inhibit neuropathy-induced thermal hyperalgesia, spinal microglia and astrocyte activation, as well as upregulation of tumor necrosis factor-α. During persistent pain, activation of MAPKs, especially p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), have crucial ...
the first to demonstrate the usefulness of a DL model trained using radiographs in predicting the therapeutic outcomes of spinal injections for radicular pain. Integrating our research results with a cloud system could significantly enhance its accessibility and scalability. A cloud-based platform would ...
Technical advances in the field of spinal interventional neuroradiology allow the application of a wide range of targeted, minimally invasive treatment options including targeted spinal ozone therapy for back pain. This article provides an overview of the biochemical, molecular, immunologic, and pharmaceuti...
Similar to civilian personnel, the treatment of spine pain in deployed service members has become increasingly multimodal to include injections, judicious pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, complementary and alternative medicine if available, and psychotherapy as indicated. Based on the extant literature, ...

there were injections, but I didn't have health insurance, so I had to give up treatment because it cost 1.2 to 1.3 million won per month. After the disease worsened and I was covered by health insurance in 2008, I could get intensive treatment, and now I feel much better. I wonder ...
This transitory change was also associated with increased costs with healthcare services that may also have questionable value for back pain (e.g. spinal injections, imaging) [11]. The study also showed a 13% increase in the use of prescription drugs, some of which are known to be ...
