- Looked at patients with axial low back pain only (no radiculopathy)
- In patients with spinal stenosis (SS), the bilateral transforaminal ESI produced better results than the interlaminar approach.
- Authors believe this was because there is more scaring with SS, and this limits the amount of injectate to the ventral epidural space.
