The first end result was the elements that had been related to substantial response of ?four factors or ?50% of ache aid within the numerical ranking scale ache rating 12 months after the therapy. Outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression evaluation demonstrated that the presence of high-intensity zone (HIZ) at magnetic resonance imaging was a predictor of considerable response to percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis for 12 months (P = zero.007). The presence of a situation involving the vertebral foramen was a predictor for unsuccessful response after 12 months (P = zero.02). Dialogue and Conclusion. The presence of HIZ was a predictor of favorable long-term end result after percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis for the therapy of decrease again ache with radicular ache attributable to lumbar disc herniation.
