The Effect of Additional Transforaminal Epidural Blocks in Percutaneous Epidural Neuroplasty

100 participantsStarted 2019-05-10

Plain-language summary

Percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) is an effective interventional treatment for radicular pain. But in some cases with wire catheter like Racz catheter, contrast runoffs were not shown to the foramen. This study will show that contrast runoff will affect the results of PEN and in cases which contrast runoff are not shown, additional transforaminal epidural blocks will affect the results of PEN by reviewing medical record, retrospectively.
