Comparative study between caudal epidural steroid vs selective interlaminar epidural steroid in chronic low back ache

Abstract

Background: One of the most common painful disorders is lower back pain with the lifetime 
prevalence of around 54% to 80%. Annual prevalence of chronic back pain is around 15% to 
45% and 25% - 60% of patients have persisting low back pain with one year beyond initial 
episode. This condition often disrupts work, social activities, and daily living. Our study aimed 
to assess the outcomes of inter-laminar epidural steroid injection versus caudal epidural steroid 
injection in patients experiencing chronic lower back pain, focusing on pain relief and potential 
complications.
