%X this study documents the efficacy of chemonucleolysis with radiopaque gelified ethanol in the treatment of cervical and lumbar disc herniation and discogenic pain. ten patients underwent this procedure between april 1 and june 30, 2010. satisfactory results were obtained in 100% of patients. there were no adverse events reported during or post-procedure and a significant reduction in pain and analgesic intake after intradiscal injection was registered. this technique, simple and safe to perform, yielded satisfactory results; thus, it appears to be a good alternative in the treatment of herniated discs and discogenic pain.
