Methods Sacral block was adopted in 120 patients with LIDP(sacral group), they were injected triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg, vitamin B1 100 mg, vitamin B12 1 mg, 2% lidocaine 100 mg, added physiological saline 20-30 ml, twice a week, three times as a period. Compared therapy effect with epidural block (120 cases, epidural group). Results The achievement ratio of once puncture was 93.3% (112/120) in sacral group and 82.5% (99/120) in epidural group, P < 0.05. After treatment, the excellent and good rate of sacral group and epidural group were 85.0%(102/120) and 93.3%(112/120), there was not obvious difference, P>0.05, but the fair and bad rate were 15.0%(18/120) and 6.7%(8/120), there was ob-vious difference, P<0.05. Conclusions Sacral block and epidural block are effective methods to treat LIDP.
