Summary

This study looked at 51 adults with chronic lower back pain from a herniated disk who did not get better with basic treatments. Researchers wanted to see if having metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and high blood sugar) changed how well a steroid injection in the spine worked for pain relief. The main goal was to measure if pain dropped by more than half.
