Read the guideline
Abstract
Epidural injections are frequently performed for radicular pain. The German Society for Spine Surgery (DWG) published an S3 guideline for assessing benefits and performing epidural injections. The goal is to standardize the indication, technique, and medication selection based on evidence.
The guideline was developed with the participation of ten professional associations and a patient representative using the AGREE II tool. It was based on a systematic literature review with GRADE assessment. Fourteen PICO questions were addressed.
