CRD SUMMARY:

The authors stated there was good evidence for transforaminal epidural injections for chronic low back and lower extremity pain caused by disc herniation with radiculitis; the evidence was fair for spinal stenosis, and limited for axial pain and post surgery syndrome. Whilst the relative effectiveness of different types of transforaminal epidural injections is unclear, the authors' broad conclusion seems reliable.
