What to inject for lumbar disc herniation

Minimally invasive interventional neuropathic pain management for lumbar disc herniation is possible, with C-arm or CT guidance, and a transcatheter epidural injection in the corresponding spinal nerve segment causing the pain. Glucocorticoids can reduce edema and exudation and reduce the inflammatory response, while local anesthetic drugs can relieve pain, and the effect is usually obvious. It is important to note that the concentration of the drugs injected should not be too high and should not be injected into the subarachnoid space to avoid adverse consequences. However, the injected medication is usually unable to release the nerves and does not play a role in decompression.
