Actual (reported)This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fatty infiltration in the lumbar paraspinal (multifidus and erector spinae) muscles, clinical characteristics, and treatment response after lumbar erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in patients with low back pain due to lumbar radiculopathy. A responder was defined as a patient with a numerical rating scale (NRS) decrease of ≥ 50% from baseline to one month after the procedure. The presence of fat infiltration in the lumbar paraspinal muscles was assessed, along with patient demographic and clinical characteristics.

Actual (reported)VAS
Visual analogue scales (VAS) are psychometric measuring instruments designed to document the characteristics of disease-related symptom severity in individual patients and use this to achieve a rapid (statistically measurable and reproducible) classification of symptom severity and disease control.
Change from Baseline NRS at 3 months
All procedures were performed under ultrasound (US) guidance. The patient was monitored in the operating room and placed in the prone position under a sterile drape. A 2-6 MHz convex US probe was used during the procedure. The transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae were visualized and then a 22 gauge spinal needle was advanced to the transverse process of the L3 vertebra. After contacting the transverse process, a total of 15 mL of drug consisting of 2 mL of methylprednisolone and 6 mL of 0.025% bupivacaine was injected into this area, and the spread of the drug in the craniocaudal area was visualized. The patients were followed up for possible complications after the procedure.
