Abstract:
Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of the CT guided mixture Danshen injection into the periganglionic space in the treatment of lumbocrural pain.Methods Mixture Danshen infiltrations were performed in 63 patients with lumbocrural pain under CT guidance.Scores of VAS were compared at 3 and 6 months after the therapeutic procedure with evaluation of the efficacy.Results Significant pain reduction was observed in 51 patients (51/63,80.95%),with the score of VAS 7.60± 2.00 (before therapy) dropping to 3.85 ± 1.60 (after 1 month) and 4.05± 1.70 (after 6 month).Differences of VAS scores before and after the therapy were statistically significant.Differences between one-month and three-month follow-up were not statistically significant.Conclusion Mixture Danshen injection around the spinal nerve roots under CT guidance is safe and useful in the treatment of lumbocrural pain.
