Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library) were used to search and assess all clinical randomized controlled trials regarding the clinical efficacy of epidural injections from January 01, 2009, to October 31, 2020. Cochrane review criteria and the Interventional Pain Management Techniques\u2010Quality Appraisal of Reliability and Risk of Bias Assessment instrument were used to evaluate the methodologic quality of the included studies. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed according to best evidence synthesis principles and by single\u2010arm meta\u2010analysis, respectively.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Based on the search criteria, 4 RCTs were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed in the single\u2010arm meta\u2010analysis. Treatment with lidocaine alone or with the steroid resulted in decreases of 4.46 and 4.29 points, respectively, in pain scores and of 15.8 and 14.46 points, respectively, in functional scores at 6 months. Similar trends were observed at the 1\u2010year follow\u2010up: pain scores decreased by 4.27 and 4.14 points, while functional scores decreased by 15.94 and 14.44 points in patients with neck pain who received lidocaine without or with the steroid, respectively. In the 3 studies that reported 2\u2010year follow\u2010up data, patients with neck pain treated with lidocaine or lidocaine + steroid showed 4.2\u2010 and 4.14\u2010point decreases, in pain score and 15.92\u2010 and 14.89\u2010point decreases, respectively, in functional scores.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
