Abstract
Objective: To evaluate of the transforaminal epidural steroid injection for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation under computed tomography guided. Subject and method: 80 patients with lumbar disc herniation were diagnosed at 108 Military Central Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021. Longitudinal follow-up and prospective study. Result: Location of transforaminal L3-L4 35%, L4-L5 58%, L5-S1 7%. VAS score before intervention, 1 day, 14 days, 1 month and 3 months after intervention were 6.48 ± 1.46; 3.21 ± 1.53; 2.74 ± 1.37; 2.55 ± 1,44; 2.75 ± 1.39 and ODI score before intervention, 1 day, 14 days, 1 month and 3 months after intervention were 59.26 ± 12.18; 35.68 ± 7.97, 33.63 ± 6.14, 30.18 ± 6.01, 28.15 ± 6.46. Statistically signficant difference. Conclusion: Transforaminal epidural injection is an effective method of pain management and functional improvement for patients with lumbar disc herniation.
