Aims:Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment that induces the local inflammation response and has been used clinically for many musculoskeletal system disorders. Dextrose is the most common solution that is used for prolotherapy. Dextrose prolotherapy can be used as a complementary treatment for various musculoskeletal system disorders including low back pain. The aim of our trial is to assess the potential effectiveness of 5% dextrose injection for radicular low back pain resulting from lumbar disc herniation.
