CT-guided drug injection around the nerve root to treat lumbar disc herniation.

To observe and analyze the effect of CT-guided drug injection around the nerve root in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, the 140 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation in our hospital, were selected as the study subjects for CT-guided drug injection around the nerve root and treatment efficacy was observed. According to the modified Mac Nab criteria, there were 80 cases, 50 cases, 6 cases, and 4 cases of excellent, good, fair, and poor results, with excellent and good rate at 92.86%; the patients whose onset time was less than three months and more than three months were compared in terms of VAS scores before and after surgery. The results showed that the postoperative pain score was significantly lower in patients whose onset time was less than three months compared to those whose onset time was more than three months, P<0.05; observation of patients' quality of life before and after treatment shows great improvement in quality of life after treatment, P<0.05. The treatment of lumbar disc herniation with CT-guided drug injection around the nerve root can achieve relatively good results with significantly improved therapeutic effect and great application value.
