Title: Epidural Steroid Injection as a Treatment for Cervical Radiculitis
Abstract: Sixteen patients with clinical evidence of cervical root inflammation and negative computerized tomography and/or myelogram findings were treated with injections of Depo-Medrol into the cervical epidural space. All patients had pain of at least 3-month duration and had failed trials of conservative therapy. Of the 16 patients, 12 had subjective improvement in their pain. Six of the 12 patients who had preinjection neurologic changes had improvement in their objective neurologic findings. Epidural steroid injection seems to have a role in the treatment of cervical radiculities.
