Comparison of the results of treatment with epidural injection of procaine alone with that of procaine plus Depo-Medrone in patients with unilateral sciatica showed no definite difference between the two groups. Of 48 patients, there was improvement in about 70%, whichever solution was used. However, it is of interest that in patients with a long history of severe sciatica the injection of procaine plus Depo-Medrone appeared to give better results. This finding should be noted, and a further comparative trial in this group is worth undertaking.
