Abstract

Local infiltrations are second line therapy in the treatment of chronic low back pain, although their use is controversial in the literature. Our objective was to compare the effectiveness of 2 types of infiltration at the paravertebral lumbar level in two groups of patients diagnosed with low back pain: corticosteroids, and selective local anaesthetic administered using segmental neural therapy (SNT).
