"The transforaminal approach allows a more targeted delivery to a more specific region. These injections can be more useful clinically and can help guide further injections and surgical management. Moreover, in cases of multi-level nerve compression, a single interlaminar epidural injection can effectively address multiple affected levels, reducing the need for multiple separate injections."
"Corticosteroid injection acts with breaking down the inflammatory cycle and accumulated focal mediators such as prostaglandins; also direct injection into the epidural space results in dilution and dispersion of these inflammatory mediators and can also dissect adhesions and alter the focal pH in favour of improved nerve function."
