  • Title: [Epidural injections of steroids in the treatment of patients with chronic sciatica in discopathy].
    Author: Popiołek A, Domanik A, Mazurkiewicz G.
    Journal: Neurol Neurochir Pol; 1991; 25(5):640-6. PubMed ID: 1808526.
    Abstract:
    The authors tried to assess the effectiveness of the treatment with epidural steroid injections in cases with lumbar discopathy and chronic ischialgia++. Thirty patients were given one or two injections of Depo-Medrol or Polcortolon with added bupivacaine++ into the epidural space. The same number of patients were treated without such injections. Control examinations after 21 days showed greater and earlier improvement after Depo-Medrol . The results of Polcortolon were less evident. No side effects were observed.
