Jang SH, et al. - Given the utility of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) for managing radicular pain following lumber spinal stenosis (LSS), researchers sought to ascertain the long‐term prognosis of TFESI in patients with LSS. They identified 90 patients who underwent TFESI for controlling LSS‐induced radicular pain at least 5 years previously. Of these, 54 patients completed a phone interview and provided data regarding their degree of pain during walking or standing, current oral medication used for radicular pain, current TFESI injections, progression to surgery, and unemployment due to pain at least 5 years after the TFESI for LSS‐induced radicular pain. Analysis revealed relatively poor prognosis after TFESI for controlling LSS‐induced radicular pain. However, TFESI is worth considering as a safe modality for controlling radicular pain following LSS when poor long‐term outcome and complications after surgery were considered.
