Factors associated with transforaminal epidural steroid injection efficacy and prognosis for symptomatic treatment of lumbar stenosis associated with degenerative scoliosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs) have been very commonly used for symptomatic treatment in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, there is a paucity of literature on their use in patients with stenosis associated with degenerative lumbar scoliosis. There have been various published studies on parameters affecting the outcome of TFESIs, however there are no studies focusing on the effects of anatomical parameters associated with lumbar scoliosis on the outcome of these injections. The primary goal of this study is to assess anatomical and structural factors affecting efficacy of TFESI in the treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative scoliosis. A secondary goal of this study is to assess whether positive response with TFESI could predict bet
