PRT Injection therapy What are the risks involved in this therapy? von S.   |  am 2002-12-03 15:17:18  Answer: PRT Injection therapy Dear Mr Sch., The periradicular therapy is mostly carried out by injecting a combination of anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication into an inflamed, irritated or swollen nerve root with the help of an X-ray monitor. This therapy is very low risk. An infection can occur or an incompatibility reaction to the medication administered, but this is extremely rare. Yours sincerely, Dr. med. S.
