Consensus Recommendations on Initiating Prescription Therapies for Opioid ‐Induced Constipation

Prescription treatments for opioid‐induced constipation should be considered for patients who have a BFI score of ≥30 points and an inadequate response to first‐line interventions.

Adverse Event Rates Associated with Transforaminal and Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injections: A Multi‐Institutional Study
ConclusionsBoth transforaminal and ILESI are safely performed with low immediate and delayed adverse event rates when informed by evidence‐based procedural guidelines. By demonstrating comparable safety, this study suggests that the choice between ILESI and TFESIs can be based on documented efficacy and effectiveness and not driven by safety concerns.
