TL;DR: In the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis, epidural injection of glucocorticoids plus lidocaine plus lidOCaine offered minimal or no short-term benefit as compared with epidural injections of lidocane alone.

TL;DR: Lumbar medial branch RFA may provide benefit to well-selected individuals, with MBB being more predictive than IA injections, and more stringent selection criteria are likely to improve denervation outcomes, but at the expense of more false-negatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

R. Carter Clement,Adina Welander,Caleb Stowell,Thomas D. Cha,John Li-Tat Chen,Michelle Davies,Jeremy Fairbank,Kevin T. Foley,Martin Gehrchen,Olle Hägg,Wilco C. H. Jacobs,Richard Kahler,Safdar N.

TL;DR: The outcome measures recommended here are structured around specific etiologies of LBP, span a patient’s entire cycle of care, and allow for risk adjustment, and can be expected to facilitate meaningful comparisons and ultimately provide a continuous feedback loop, enabling ongoing improvements in quality of care.
Journal ArticleDOI
