We don’t know if epidural steroid injections work. The evidence isn’t strong either way. There have been only a few studies and they have had few people in them.[1] This means that we can’t draw any firm conclusions.References Staal JB, de Bie R, de Vet HCW, et al. Injection therapy for subacute and chronic low back pain: an updated Cochrane review. In: The Cochrane Library. Wiley, Chichester, UK.
