Enhanced Pain Relief with Catheter-Guided Caudal Epidural Steroid Injections: A Case Series of Patients with Unilateral Lumbar Radicular Pain
This case series highlights the potential benefit of catheter-guided caudal ESIs in patients with suboptimal responses to single-shot caudal injections. The improved outcomes suggest that targeted epidural drug delivery may enhance pain relief in select cases of unilateral lumbar radicular pain. Further research is needed to evaluate this approach's long-term efficacy and optimal patient selection.
