Abstract
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is frequently used for the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy.A retrospective analytical study was conducted at a pain clinic among 100 adult patients more than 18 yearsof age who underwent ‘Transforaminal epidural injection’ for Lumbar radiculopathy from November 2017 toDecember 2020. Group A (50 patients) received Transforaminal epidural injection with Particulate corticosteroid(Triamcinolone) and Group B (50 patients) received non-Particulate corticosteroid (Dexamethasone). Pain intensitywas assessed using the NRS score. T-test was used as a test of significance. The intensity of analgesia as measuredby NRS score is similar in particulate (triamcinolone) and non -particulate (dexamethasone) in transforaminalepidural injection done for Lumbar radiculopathy patients immediately after the procedure as well as at threemonths follow-up
