CRD SUMMARY:

This review assessed interlaminar, transforaminal and caudal epidural injections for the treatment of chronic spinal pain. The authors concluded that there is moderate evidence for epidural injections for long-term pain relief. Inadequate reporting of the review methods and differences between the studies make it difficult to confirm the reliability of the authors' conclusions.
