Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Atlas of Pain Medicine Procedures AB - Transforaminal approach to the epidural space has been utilized for several decades for proper placement of injectates at the site of inflammation. Initially called selective nerve root blocks, these injections are more recently called transforaminal injections. The main advantages include (1) ability to place the medication closer to the area of the pain generator and inflammation (the neuro-discal interface) and (2) the use of less medication to achieve similar or better results than an interlaminar approach.
