Summary

compare cervical interlaminar epidural injection of betamethasone (9mg) and cervical transforaminal epidural injection of dexamethasone (15 mg) for cervical radicular pain

Detailed description

This study will compare one route of epidural steroid injection (interlaminar) using a particulate steroid to another route of epidural steroid injection (transforaminal) using a different non-particulate steroid dexamethasone. Repeat injections may be allowed. All injections will be done with image guidance. Patients will be evaluated for improvements in pain and function.
