Abstract

Background. There are few studies on minimally invasive injection therapy (MIT) combined with multimodal conservative therapeutic options. Here, we evaluate the results of MIT in a clinical study. Methods. A total of 61 patients with radicular lumbar symptoms treated with MIT were examined before and 14.5 months after treatment. Subjective, objective, clinical and anamnestic parameters were considered. Results. In most cases, protrusions and prolapses were seen. Radicular pain, sensible and motoric deficits and also functionality of the spine could be rectified after MIT. No major complications were seen during treatment. Conclusion. MIT is an effective approach with few complications for the treatment of patients with radicular syndromes.
