Abstract
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive procedures have played an emerging role in pain management during recent years. OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of the different types of periradicular infiltration as fundamental procedures in the progressive stepwise concept of pain management. Comparison of the different therapeutic substances. RESULTS: In the mid-term and long-term periradicular infiltration is effective in 60-80 % of patients regarding analgesic and functional aspects. Compliance with the guidelines should help to minimize potentially fatal complications. CONCLUSION: Periradicular infiltration is of significant importance concerning the treatment of spinal nerve root irritation. Periradicular infiltration is regarded as a safe procedure, especially when supported by computed tomography (CT) scans.
