Abstract
  The observations of the epidural space and the treatments for epidural adhesion by epiduroscopy have been widely developed. The indications of epiduroscopy have become more prevalent for the treatment of low back pain and melosalgia due to lumbar disc hernia, spondylosis deformans, failed back syndrome, and spondylolisthesis. The methods of epiduroscopy and the outcome of our results are introduced. In the future, the indications for epiduroscopy, elucidation of the analgesic mechanisms of pain and survey of the long-term prognosis for patients with intractable, chronic lumbar pain who have received epiduroscopy should be investigated in multiple facilities.
