Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the potential changes in levels of pain, quality of life (QoL) and activities of daily living (ADL) observed when transforaminal epidural steroid injection is administered in conjunction with pulsed radiofrequency treatment of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion during the initial 3 months follow-up period. Safety (monitoring side effects) of the treatment is determined. The study hypothesis is that the application of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) in conjunction with pulsed radiofrequency treatment (PRF) treatment of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion would increase the treatment response of PRF and thereby provide a measurable difference in the pain scores, quality of life and activities of daily living for the patients suffering from chronic lumbosacral radicular pain.
