Real-world treatment patterns and management gaps of lumbar disc herniation in the United States
In this study, approximately one quarter of patients with LDH underwent ESI and/or surgery after conservative treatment. Opportunities exist to provide more guideline-concordant care to patients with LDH. In addition, unmet needs exist in the current treatment options for patients with LDH, potentially including the need for other nonsurgical treatment options for patients who do not fully respond to conservative treatment.
