“…One study was a diagnostic cohort study, 28 one was a RCT 42 and five studies were case series. 25,[43][44][45][46] Publication dates ranged from 1973 to 2010. Only one study 25 reported on the complications of SNRBs in the lumbar spine as the primary outcome of interest.…”

“…This study included all patients (n = 1203) who received one or more therapeutic or diagnostic SNRBs in a radiology department with no details provided on their pre-test symptoms. The remaining six studies 28,[42][43][44][45][46] were all conducted among participants with radicular pain in a lower limb but were generally small (15-117 participants analysed). Table 7 gives full details of the SNRB injection methods and the adverse events reported.…”

Reports are published in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) if (1) they have resulted from work for the HTA programme, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the reviewers and editors.Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed 'systematic' when the account of the search appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others. HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance. HTA research is also an important source of evidence for National Screening Committee (NSC) policy decisions.For more information about the HTA programme please visit the website: www.hta.ac.uk/ This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HTA programme as project number 09/111/01. The contractual start date was in August 2010. The draft report began editorial review in February 2012 and was accepted for publication in October 2012.

“…Since then, various different terminologies have been used in the literature, which include 'selective lumbosacral block' [29], 'selective nerve root blocks' [14,26], 'transforaminal epidural injections' [15,28] and 'peri-radicular infiltration' [11].…”

“…It was first introduced in 1971 as a diagnostic test for patients with clinical findings of nerve root irritation [16]. Tajima et al [29] later explored its therapeutic value and reported their results in 1980. Four studies conducted by Weiner et al [33], Lutz et al [15], Pfirrmann et al [26] and Karppinen et al [11] in the last decade have all demonstrated its value in relieving discogenic sciatic pain.…”

“…By a too far medially placed needle the risk of epidural anesthesia is present. Although Tajima (8) claims that the image of the spinal nerve surrounded by contrast has diagnostic significance regarding the site of entrapment this has not be confirmed (9). The symptoms provoked at injection of contrast are noted and in particular whether the provoked pain is similar to the usual pain.…”
