ABSTRACT

Chronic pain in the lumbar region is extremely common. Data from the US show that nearly 80% of the population develop this syndrome in the course of their lives. [1] [2]. Facet syndrome occurs as a result of synovitis or disruption that is expressed as low-back pain with pseudoradicular radiation [3]. Many methods were used for management of facet syndrome. In this study 40 patients with facet syndrome were chosen to be injected by corticosteroid., and were divided into 2 groups 20 patients each. One group was injected using fluoroscopic control in the operative theater and the second group was injected using C.T guided approach. Patients were evalualed for pain relief, at intervals, and it was concluded that C.T guided approach was more accurate and efficient in treating pain
