Commentary on “Efficacy and harms of orally, intramuscularly or intravenously administered glucocorticoids for sciatica: A systematic review and meta‐analysis” by Abdel Shaheed et al

Abstract

This journal recently published a paper by Abdel Shaheed et al., entitled “Efficacy and harms of orally, intramuscularly or intravenously administered glucocorticoids for sciatica: A systematic review and meta‐analysis” (Abdel Shaheed et al. 2020). This paper synthesizes published evidence on role of glucocorticoids administered through enteral and parenteral (but not epidural) routes for relieving pain radiating down the leg with or without lower back pain secondary to compression of lumbosacral spinal nerve roots, a condition commonly referred to as sciatica.
