This Study was performed to explore the
amount and duration of the analgesic effect of DSCB in
patients with sciatica and assisting the patient in
overcoming his symptoms and ending his/her cycle of pain
and disability.
Methods: In total, 100 patients with sciatica were treated
with DSCB injections. All the patients were evaluated by
VAS scores and improvement of SLRT before treatment
and 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment.
Results: After one injection, the patient’s pain was greatly
decreased and they stopped taking NSAIDs. The VAS
scores and SLRT were significantly better after than
before injection.
Conclusions: DSCB injections are effective treatment for
acute Sciatica pain with or without nerve root
compression
