Summary

Chronic lumbar radicular pain is a frequently encountered condition that can cause marked pain, limited physical function, and a substantial decline in quality of life. For patients whose symptoms do not respond adequately to conservative treatment, caudal epidural adhesiolysis is considered a minimally invasive treatment option, particularly when epidural fibrosis or adhesions are thought to contribute to persistent pain.

Even so, treatment response after caudal epidural adhesiolysis is not the same for every patient. Some individuals experience meaningful clinical improvement, whereas others obtain limited benefit. Understanding which factors are associated with a favorable outcome may help clinicians make better treatment decisions and identify patients who are more likely to benefit from the procedure.

In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we reviewed the medical records of patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain who underwent caudal epidural adhesiolysis. The purpose of the study is to evaluate clinical success after the procedure and to explore demographic, clinical, and procedure-related factors that may influence treatment outcomes.
