Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection Use Among Patients with Alcohol Use Disorder: A Multicondition Analysis

Friday, November 14, 2025
2:01 PM - 2:09 PM CT
Location: 301 - 302
Introduction: Chronic alcohol consumption is known to widely increase inflammation throughout the body, leading to increased pain hypersensitivity, particularly in patients who have pre-existing conditions such as spinal disorders. Repeat corticosteroid injections can be performed through a procedure known as transforaminal lumbar epidural steroid injection (TFESI) to manage the acute and chronic pain of various spinal conditions. This study aims to compare the frequency of TFESI procedures in alcohol-dependent spinal condition patients to their non-alcohol-dependent counterparts.
