Abstract
Epidural steroid Therapy is one of the useful conservative modalities in the treatment of low backache with or without radicular pain. Epidural Injection of a mixture of (2ml) of Methylpredinisolone, 10ml of NS & 5ml of xylocaine (2%) Injected through lumbosacral route in 300 patients suffering from low backache produced 84% excellent to good results; 12% fair results & 4% showed poor results, when evaluated after 3 months of injection. Patients suffering from PIVD had good response to this treatment. Very few complications were encountered and these were easily managed without any long term sequale. This method was found to be effective and safe.
