Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection Lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections are pain management tools used to hone in on specific nerves responsible for lower back pain and radiculopathy in the lower extremities. during a transforaminal injection, steroids are injected directly into the neural foramen where nerves exit the spine. Abstract transforaminal epidural steroid injection is often administered to patients with radiculopathy under fluoroscopic guidance, although it has disadvantages of radiation hazards and requirement of a special area to perform the block. to avoid these disadvantages, ultrasound guided transforaminal injection (ustfi) has recently been described and is continually developed. this review.
Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection O360 Content Library A transforaminal epidural steroid injection involves injecting pain relieving corticosteroid medications directly into your epidural space (the space between your spinal column and spinal cord). healthcare providers use this treatment to reduce nerve root inflammation and ease pain associated with a range of spinal conditions. A transforaminal lumbar epidural steroid injection (tfesi) is an injection of corticosteroids into the epidural space. when it is done from the side where the nerve exits the spine, it is called a transforaminal injection. A lumbar epidural injection may provide relief if disc problems, or dural, or nerve root inflammation are causing your pain. what is a lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection? in a lumbar epidural injection, a corticosteroid (anti inflammatory medicine) is injected into the epidural space to reduce inflammation. Several approaches available to access the lumbar epidural space are the caudal, interlaminar, and transforaminal, also known as nerve root or selective epidural injection. the objective of an epidural steroid injection is to deliver corticosteroid close to the site of pathology, presumably onto an inflamed nerve root.

In patients in whom leg and back symptoms are severe, lumbar epidural (cortico)steroid injections are good options for the short to medium term management of pain. currently, lumbar epidural steroid injections are performed with radiographic guidance systems and fluoroscopy.
