Summary

In discal sciatica, after failure of medical treatment, the investigators propose frequently a spinal infiltration of corticoids the most closer of disco-radicular conflict. Recently, some cases of paraplegia during lumbar foraminal infiltrations have induce a reduction of indications of this type of infiltration. An alternative would be to propose a lateral epidural infiltration on contact with conflict.The objective of this study is to compare, in 112 patients with a less than 6 months discal sciatica, the efficacy on pain of a non target posterior epidural space infiltration of corticoids done at L3-L4 stage on scan control versus an epidural infiltration of the same corticoid done in lateral on contact of disco radicular conflict on scan control.

Conditions

  • Discal Sciatica

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Non target epidural infiltration done at L3-L4 stage

For patients included in control arm, a non target posterior epidural space infiltration of corticoids will be done at L3-L4 stage on scan control

PROCEDURE

Epidural infiltration on contact of disco radicular conflict

For patients included in experimental arm, an epidural infiltration of corticoids will be done in lateral on contact of disco radicular conflict on scan control.
