Comparing the Effectiveness and Safety of Dexamethasone, Methylprednisolone and Betamethasone in Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections.

Our study demonstrates that the clinical outcomes associated with TFESIs of nonparticulate steroids are superior to those associated with TFESIs of particulate steroids when either variety of medication is used to treat lumbar radiculopathy. This is the first study to include a clinically useful predictive model using information on laterality, age, and steroid type.
