Summary

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the difference in the reduction of pain at 1 month after intradiscal infiltration of corticosteroids depending on symmetrical or asymmetrical active discopathies with MRI examination. The difference should be judged significant if it ⩾ 2 points.

Detailed description

As secondary objective, the study aims to study the correlation between pain reduction which will be assessed by numerical scale at 1 month and 6 months after intradiscal infiltration of corticosteroids and following parameters: the duration of chronic lumbago, the presence of associated root pains, the morphological characteristics with RMI examination of active discopathies, the co-existence of scoliosis, the sign of inter-somatic instability, the muscular trophicity of muscle erector of low back, the pelvic incidence, degree of lumbar lordosis, Cobb angle, wearing a corset.
