Abstract
We reviewed back pain patients treated with epidural block or facet block who visited our clinic from 1977 to 1979. And we concluded as follows:
(1) Epidural block has good indication for patients suffering from low back pain with sciatica.
(2) Facet block is indicated for patients who complained back pain worsened on body movement.
(3) Both epidural block and facet block have some beneficial effect for patient with chronic back pain.
