Here we present three patients diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy, whose directional preference only surfaced after either a cervical transforaminal or intralaminar nerve root epidural steroid injection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>This retrospective observational case series describes three men who presented with cervical radiculopathy with 7\u20109\/10 neck pain, neck disability index (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NDI<\/jats:styled-content>) ranging between 44% and 90%, and an irreducible derangement upon McKenzie mechanical diagnosis and therapy (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MMDT<\/jats:styled-content>) evaluation.

They each underwent a cervical transforaminal or intralaminar epidural injections at one or two levels, which uncovered their directional preference and facilitated further conservative treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p>These three patients experienced drastic improvements with each postinjection physical therapy session. They demonstrated decreased pain scores, centralization of pain, and a decreasing <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NDI<\/jats:styled-content> trends throughout their treatments. They were all discharged with stable 0\u20103\/10 pain severity after four physical therapy sessions and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NDI<\/jats:styled-content> scores of 0%. These cases suggest an interplay between inflammatory and mechanical contributors to spine\u2010mediated pain and the treatment challenge this presents. Dissecting the components of spine pain can be challenging; however, delivery of skilled multidisciplinary care in an algorithmic fashion may be beneficial and provide the future framework for the management of cervical radiculopathy and other spine\u2010related conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.12000","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,1]],"date-time":"2012-11-01T04:09:27Z","timestamp":1351742967000},"page":"559-565","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Directional Preference Following Epidural Steroid Injection in Three Patients with Acute Cervical Radiculopathy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Mehul J.","family":"Desai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University Medical Center Washington District of Columbia U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Girish","family":"Padmanabhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University Medical Center Washington District of Columbia U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ajai","family":"Simbasivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University Medical Center Washington District of Columbia U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gladys G.","family":"Kamanga\u2010Sollo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University Medical Center Washington District of Columbia U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ajay","family":"Dharmappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University Medical Center Washington District of Columbia U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"1702","article-title":"Philadelphia Panel evidence\u2010based clinical practice guidelines on selected rehabilitation interventions for neck pain","volume":"81","author":"Albright J","year":"2001","journal-title":"Phys Ther"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.2004.34.11.686"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005768-199707001-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ncl.2007.01.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/117.2.325"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2008.02365.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-006-0225-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-200201150-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200706000-00026"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/01.
