Summary

This study examined whether having metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes) changes how well a steroid injection works for people with chronic back pain from a herniated disc. Researchers treated 51 adults who had not improved with other treatments. The goal was to see if metabolic syndrome affects pain relief and disability scores after the injection.
