Comparison of ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided caudal epidural block in low back pain with radiculopathy: A randomized controlled study
Although fluoroscopy remains the gold standard for caudal epidural injections, ultrasound-assisted procedures demonstrated comparable pain relief, disability improvement, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects. Ultrasound guidance shows promise as technology and expertise advance, offering a potential alternative for managing LBP with radiculopathy.
