  • Title: Sciatica and epidural corticosteroid injections.
    Journal: Prescrire Int; 2015 Feb; 24(157):49. PubMed ID: 25802923.
    Abstract:
    According to trials conducted in hundreds of patients with sciatica, epidural corticosteroid injections have no demonstrated efficacy beyond the placebo effect, either in the short-term or the long-term. However, they expose patients to a risk of sometimes serious neurological adverse effects.
