Targeted methylprednisolone acetate/hyaluronidase/clonidine injection after diagnostic epiduroscopy for chronic sciatica: A prospective, 1-year follow-up study☆

Abstract: Epiduroscopy is of value in the diagnosis of spinal root pathology. In sciatica, adhesions unreported by MRI can be identified. Targeted epidural medication, administered near the compromised spinal nerve, results in substantial and prolonged pain relief.

“…Various techniques have been used for adhesiolysis during epiduroscopy, namely: mechanical [12−14], laser [15,16], radiofrequency [17,18] and chemical [19]. Most often steroids and local anesthetics are injected into the epidural space after adhesiolysis [12,13,20] while other substances such as clonidine [12], hyaluronidase [14,19], ciprofloxacin [14] and ozone [14] have also been used.…”

“…Los autores consideraron que no había una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en el rendimiento de la inyección percutánea caudal en comparación con la inyección dirigida por epiduroscopia. El otro estudio clínico incluido en el análisis fue aquél publicado por Geurts en 2002 (18). Publicaron una cohorte de 20 pacientes llevados a epiduroscopia con inyección dirigida de esteroides (metil prednisolona, hialuronidasa y clonidina).…”

“…Si la clínica es unilateral se debe explorar el lado contralateral al lesionado. una vez en el lugar de la lesión se confirma el diagnóstico clínico con pequeños toques con el extremo del epiduroscopio y preguntándole al paciente si se reproduce su dolor habitual, maniobra que es mucho más sensible para el diagnóstico del origen del dolor que la clínica y la resonancia magné-tica nuclear (14,29,30).…”
