Abstract
Nerve root pain has been treated with steroid injections since the 1970s. We will describe a novel method for nerve root injection using a directed epidural catheter. A case is described where catheter placement accurately reproduced symptoms which were then relieved with local anesthetic and steroid. This is a novel approach to treatment of painful nerve roots with a catheter.
