Abstract

Fifty-four patients underwent intraarticular injection of lumbar facet joints for the diagnosis and treatment of facet syndrome. Twenty-nine (54%) patients had initial pain relief and 11 (38%) of those who responded to facet block have had prolonged relief. Six patients have been free of pain for 6 to 12 months. Patients who had not undergone previous surgery had a better initial response and longer improvement than those who had undergone laminectomy or spinal fusion.
