Prognostic factors of selective nerve root block under fluoroscopic guidance for the treatment of young patients with lumbar disc herniation and its role in preventing surgery
The curative effect of SNRB in the treatment of young patients with LDH is significant. A disease course of ≤ 3 months, far-lateral protrusion and the HIZ sign are predictors of good outcomes. In addition, SNRB combined with medication and physical therapy is recommended as an alternative to surgery for patients who do not have acute surgical indications.
