Summary

Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain. But needle handling during the procedure may cause pain and discomfort to the patient. At the local skin anesthesia step, local anesthetics injection to the muscle layer along the needle pathway as well as the subcutaneous layer may reduce the procedural pain. In addition, it can reduce the injection site pain that may occur after the procedure.

Conditions

  • Lumbar Radiculopathy Due to Spinal Nerve Compression

Interventions

PROCEDURE

1ml of local anesthetics (1% Lidocaine) were injected into the subcutaneous layer.

1\) In group A, 1ml of local anesthetics (1% Lidocaine) were injected into the subcutaneous layer.

PROCEDURE

1ml of a local anesthetics (1% idocaine) are first injected into the subcutaneous layer, followed by 3~4ml of local anesthetics to the muscle layer along the expected needle pathway.

2\) In group B, 1ml of a local anesthetics (1% Lidocaine) are first injected into the subcutaneous layer, followed by 3\~4ml of local anesthetics to the muscle layer along the expected needle pathway.

DRUG
