Efficacy of combined paraspinous lidocaine injection & analgesia+exercise for chronic LBP
J Pain. 2016 May;17(5):569-76378 patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP) were randomized to 3 groups: paraspinous lidocaine injection, analgesics, and exercise (Lidocaine group); sham paraspinous lidocaine injection, analgesics, and exercise (Sham group); or analgesics and exercise (Standard treatment group). The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of these combination treatments in the reduction of pain and improvement of function after a 3-month follow-up. Findings indicated significantly greater pain relief, improved functional outcomes, and improved pain pressure thresholds in the Lidocaine group compared to the Sham group and the Standard treatment group.
