CRD SUMMARY:

This review investigated the long-term benefits of epidural steroid injections for patients with low back pain. The authors concluded that a long-term benefit of epidural steroid injection for low back pain was not suggested at six months or longer. Introduction of selection bias in most of the injection studies seems apparent. This conclusion reliably reflects the evidence presented.
