Treatment Response to TFESI and DRG Pulsed RF in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Disc Herniation

Sponsor: Marmara University

Summary

Lumbar radiculopathy caused by conditions such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis can lead to chronic pain and reduced quality of life. In patients who do not respond to conservative treatments, minimally invasive procedures such as transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) and pulsed radiofrequency (pRF) applied to the dorsal root ganglion are commonly used. This study aims to compare treatment responses between patients with lumbar disc herniation and those with lumbar spinal stenosis who have undergone TFESI combined with dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency. Pain levels and clinical outcomes will be evaluated to determine whether the underlying condition affects treatment effectiveness. The results of this study may help guide clinicians in selecting the most appropriate treatment approach for patients with lumbar radiculopathy.
