We sincerely thank Helm et al. for their valuable comments on our review article. 1,2 As the authors note, it is important to report on very rare, albeit disastrous complications of interventional pain management procedures such as cervical interlaminar epidural corticosteroid injections. Epidural hematoma is a recognized risk of this procedure, and the authors are correct to state that the epidural venous plexus potentially lies in the needle path of the interlaminar approach. Since neurological complications due to vascular injury are inherent to all cervical procedures -including the transforaminal approach as well as the paramedian approach -caution should be exercised during every cervical procedure.We acknowledge that evidence exists for the use of epidural adhesiolysis in well-selected patients with lumbosacral radicular pain, notably in the setting of persistent spinal pain syndrome (PSPS) type II. 3 We did not make any recommendations for epidural adhesiolysis in patients with cervical radicular pain, however, given the paucity of trials performed in this patient population and the risks associated with high-volume administration. 4 Two of the references provided by Helm et al. only included patients with lumbar disc herniation or PSPS type II. Besides one randomized controlled trial by Ji et al., only retrospective cohort studies were published on cervical epidural lysis of adhesions. [5][6][7] Therefore, until further data are available, no recommendations should be made regarding this technique in the cervical radicular pain treatment algorithm, especially in the absence of large-scale studies evaluating safety outcomes. Given the vast differences in anatomy, we believe that the evidence available for epidural adhesiolysis performed at the lumbar level cannot be extrapolated to the cervical level.In summary, we recognize that a perfect treatment algorithm for interventional treatment of patients with cervical radicular pain does not exist at this moment and that further research is needed to clarify which interventional treatment(s) are most appropriate for these patients.
