Brief summary (from the registry)
Radicular low back pain due to disc herniation is frequently observed. There are rest, medical treatments, physical medicine modalities, interventional procedures for pain and surgical options in the treatment of lumbar disc herniations. Epidural interventional methods can be applied safely and effectively in patients who do not respond to conservative treatment. Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESE) are frequently used in the interventional treatment of lumbosacral radicular low back pain. TFESE is applied targetedly under fluoroscopy guidance in disc herniation. Therefore, the chance of success increasesTFESE, which is considered a minimally invasive procedure today, is frequently preferred in interventional pain treatments. TFESE can be performed with or without sedation, depending on the preference of the physician and the patient, the patient's comorbidities, the infrastructure of the hospital and the health presentation. There are conflicting and limited studies on whether sedation is necessary in interventional pain procedures.
