<jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>Lumbosacral radicular pain (LSRP) can be caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and failed back surgery syndrome. The clinical effect of pulsed-radiofrequency (PRF) combined with transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) for radiating pain in different population remains unclear.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed the medical recordings of patients with LSRP caused by different etiologies, who underwent PRF and TESI treatment. The primary clinical outcome was assessed by a 10-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pre- and post-treatment.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>A total of 34 LSRP patients were identified and classified into 3 subgroups (disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and failed back surgery syndrome). The overall immediate pain reduction was 4.4 ± 1.1 after procedure. After a median follow-up of 9.5 months, the VAS decreased from 6.5 ± 1.0 to 2.4 ± 1.9 at the last follow-up.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>PRF combined with TESI is an effective approach to treat persistent LSRP in distinct population.</jats:p></jats:sec>
