Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) has been increasingly preferred in patients who can not benefit from conservative approach in the treatment of lumbosacral radiculopathic pain due to lumbar disc herniation. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of metabolic syndrome on the treatment results of transforaminal epidural steroid injection in patients with chronic radicular low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation.

Patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

transforaminal epidural steroid injection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In the transforaminal approach, a small amount of drug is injected into the epidural space, and in previous studies, reduction in pain and improvement in functionality were found in patients with lumbar radicular pain in the short and medium term.

Patients without a diagnosis with metabolic syndrome

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

transforaminal epidural steroid injection
