  In this secondary analysis of the CT and MR imaging studies of the prospective, double-blind Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections for Spinal Stenosis (LESS) trial participants, the authors found no differences in baseline imaging characteristics between those receiving epidural corticosteroid and lidocaine and those receiving lidocaine alone injections. No imaging measures of spinal stenosis were associated with a differential response to corticosteroids, indicating that imaging parameters of spinal stenosis did not predict a response to epidural corticosteroids.
