Timely rehabilitation with paraspinal intramuscular (IM) injection of atelocollagen could enhance muscle mass and composition, making it a valuable addition to standard epidural steroid injections.
IM administration of atelocollagen injection following epidural corticosteroids proved to be an effective pain relief option for people suffering from chronic low back pain, as per a retrospective observational study published in 'Journal of Clinical Medicine'. It was beneficial in enhancing the functional capacity of these patients.
Study Overview:
Substantial reduction in pain and functional recovery were observed in both groups (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Patients receiving the additional atelocollagen injections showed a more substantial improvement and a higher success rate.
