Kein Vorteil der epiduralen Injektion vs. oraler Medikation und Physiotherapie bei Ischialgie, unabhängig von der Beschwerdedauer

Abstract

In the context of acute treatment a once only lumbar caudal epidural injection represents at most a short-term effectiveness for the therapy of sciatica. The results presented here indicate that neither the duration of symptoms nor the measured psychometric variables show any effect on the success of therapy.
