Abstract

Purpose: Evaluating the short-term efficacy and the safety of SNRB method in treating lumbar discal herniation pain.
Methods:prospective, 24 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated by SNRBfrom February to June 2016, the contrast media
is used to identify the nerve root before ịnjecting compound of Corticosteroid and Lidocain under CT guidance. Measurements
of pain (with pain scale Visual Analogue Score - VAS) and mobility (Disability Index OSWESTRY - ODI) were compared at 1 day, 2
week, 1 month and 3 months after the procedure.
Results: 27 roots are blocked/24 patients, pain scores were significantly reduced compared with before treatment at every
follow-up period. The preprocedural mean VAS score was 5.9. At follow-up, mean VAS scores ranged from 1.9 to 2.4. The pretreatment mean ODI score was 43,6 and it ranged from 9,8 to 19 at follow-up, none grave complication.
Conclusion:S.N.R.B for lumbar radicular pain is a simple and safe procedure, but its effect is quite high. It is recommended
to perform before surgery.
