- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the visualization of drug spread between digital subtraction imaging versus real time fluoroscopy following parasagittal interlaminar epidural steroid injections in patients with chronic back pain. Spread is evaluated as ventral spread , dorsal spread , Lateral spread , Craniocaudal spread , number of lumbar segments covered , presence of perineural spread .Timepoint: Baseline , 1 week
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To find the association of pain relief and ventral spread for each group.Timepoint: 12hrs before procedure <br/ ><br>24hrs after procedure <br/ ><br>1 month after procedure
