Abstract
Thirty-two patients underwent periradicular corticosteroid injections with a lateral percutaneous approach under fluoroscopic guidance, to treat 34 fo ci of chronic cervical radiculopathy unresponsive to medical treatment alon e. The mean evolutionary trends for radicular and neck pain relief were sig nificant at 14 days (P <.001) and at 6 months (P <.001). The procedure did not produce any complications.
