                            <p>It is aimed to evaluate of the effectiveness of the application of epidural steroid injection(ESE) in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in this study. Between November 2010- December 2011 patients applied Yahyalı State Hospital Algology Clinic withlow back pain for at least 3 months was evaluated in a prospective study. Application of the lumbar epidural steroid injection was planned for 150 patients. visual analogue scale (VAS) were used for scoring pain of patients. Besides, patients with hand-finger floor distance and the degree of straight leg raising were evaluated before and after ESE injection. Ages of patients were between 27- 65 years old, of all patients 67 were men (44,7%), 83 were women (%55,3). Before and after treatment in VAS, direct leg increase, hand- finger ground distance of patients were found to be significantly different between measurements one by one (p=0,0037, p=0,0053, p=0,0062). Epidural steroid administration can provide earlier symptomatic treatment for the patients suffering from low back pain with lumbar disc herniation who did not respond to conservative treatment.</p></trans-abstract>

Yahyalı Devlet Hastanesi Algoloji Polikliniğine Kasım 2010- Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında en az 3 aydır bel ağrısı şikâyeti ile başvuran hastalar prospektif bir çalışma planı içerisinde değerlendirilerek 150 hastaya lomber epidural steroid enjeksiyonu planlandı. Hastaların ağrı skorlamasında VAS (vizüel analog skalası) kullanıldı. Ayrıca el- parmak zemin mesafesi ve düz bacak kaldırma derecesi ile hastalar ESE enjeksiyon öncesi ve sonrası değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaşları 27- 65 yaş arası olup hastaların 67 si (%44,7) erkek, 83ü (%55,3) kadın idi. Hastaların tedavi sonrasındaki VAS skorları, tedavi öncesindeki VAS skorlarına göre tüm tekrarlı ölçümlerinde daha düşük bulundu (p=0,0037). Hastaların tedavi öncesi düz bacak kaldırma (DBK) derecesi tedavi sonrası DBK derecesi ile karşılaştırıldığında tüm tekrarlı ölçümlerde daha düşük bulundu (p=0,0053). Tedavi öncesi el-parmak zemin mesafesi tedavi sonrası el-parmak zemin mesafesi ile karşılaştırıldığında tüm tekrarlı ölçümlerde daha düşük bulundu (p=0,0062). Konservatif tedavilere cevap alınamamış LDHya bağlı bel ağrılı hastalarda epidural steroid uygulaması kısa sürede semptomatik tedavi sağlayabilir.</p></abstract>
