Comparison of Clinical Outcomes of Different Rates of Infusion in Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Study Design: Prospective randomized controlled equivalence trial.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes between patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy that received caudal epidural steroid injection (CESI) at injection rates of 40 mL/min (fast rate) and 20 mL/min (slow rate) and to identify the complications associated with these different CESI rates.
