Understanding whether chronic lower back pain patients with lumbar spinal stenosis benefit from multiple epidural steroid injections prior to the mild® Procedure

A new plain language summary has been published in Pain Management called ‘Understanding whether chronic lower back pain patients with lumbar spinal stenosis benefit from multiple epidural steroid injections prior to the mild® Procedure’. The article by Peter Pryzbylkowski and co-authors is a summary of a study performed to look at the benefit, if any, of more than one epidural steroid injection in the spine before the mild® Procedure.
