CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections have significant effect in relieving chronic pain of lumbar disc herniation and radiculitis (spinal nerve root inflammation). Given the potential for language and publication bias, uncertainty of review methods and the small number of included trials with small sample sizes, the authors' conclusions may be overstated.
