Response to Comment by Bhatia
AbstractWe thank Dr Bhatia for their commentary (Bhatia, 2020) on our review Efficacy and harms of orally, intramuscularly or intravenously administered glucocorticoids for sciatica: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis (Abdel Shaheed et al., 2020).Dr Bhatia raised the point that if steroids have a role in the treatment of sciatica what route would be most effective and should studies be done to compare the epidural route (especially transforaminal approach) against oral and other parenteral routes? We agree it will not be easy to answer these questions.
