Effectiveness of intradiscal steroid injection for spinal stenosis: a retrospective cohort study in South Korea
ISI effectively provided temporary pain relief for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. The majority of patients, up to 1 year later, only necessitate conservative management of their symptoms and do not require surgery. In particular, if the improvement in pain persists up to 6 weeks after the ISI, surgical intervention may be delayed in favor of more conservative treatments.
