Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic neuropathic lumbar pain is among one of the most widespread complaints of patients.Many approaches have been attempted to target chronic pain, with varying efficacy and risks. Transgrade (TG) epidural injection is a new technique using a Racz- Coudé needle for epidural access at a "transgrade" angle without requiring any specialized hardware or accessories. Interlaminar (IL) epidural steroid injection (ESI) is one of the procedures that involves the delivery of injectate to the epidural space through directing a needle between the laminae of two adjacent vertebrae.
