- Brief Summary
In conclusion, due to the adverse events associated with the corticosteroids used in SNRB, there are restrictions on the use of these injections for fear of increasing the risk of corticosteroid-related adverse events, primarily when used frequently to control LLRP. Thus, using the HA-CMC solution is worth considering, which we showed has equivalent effects to corticosteroid and local anesthetics, in terms of improved functional outcome and improved quality of life in patients with LLRP.
