Summary

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) has been increasingly preferred in patients who can not benefit from conservative approach in the treatment of lumbosacral radiculopathic pain due to lumbar disc herniation. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of metabolic syndrome on the treatment results of transforaminal epidural steroid injection in patients with chronic radicular low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation.

Conditions

• Herniated Disk Lumbar
• Metabolic Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	transforaminal epidural steroid injection	In the transforaminal approach, a small amount of drug is injected into the epidural space, and in previous studies, reduction in pain and improvement in functionality were found in patients with lumbar radicular pain in the short and medium term.
