Pain Physician, 09/29/09
Conliffe TD et al. – The patient had dramatic improvement of pain and weakness after undergoing a fluoroscopically guided right L5 selective nerve root block with Depo–Medrol and Lidocaine. He then began a course of physical therapy and, 6 weeks later, had only trace weakness of the ankle dorsiflexor group on the right side. The patient has continued without significant weakness or pain since the procedure and has returned to normal functioning. This case demonstrates apparent treatment of a relatively uncommon phenomenon, herpes zoster radiculopathy, using selective nerve root block. Cases of herpes zoster–induced radiculopathy may become more frequent, as evidenced by the increasing number of cases of herpes zoster in the United States noted epidemiologically.
