Study Summary

In this study, the investigators are attempting to determine whether intra- or extra-articular injections are more effective; the relative prevalence rate of intra-articular and extra-articular SI joint pain; and the accuracy of extra-articular injections using fluoroscopy as the reference standard. 124 consecutive patients with mechanical low back pain below L5, tenderness overlying the SI joint(s) and at least 3 positive provocative maneuvers will be randomized to receive SI joint injections by 2 different approaches. Group 1 will receive fluoroscopically-guided injections into the joint. Group 2 will receive landmark-guided injections into the tender area around the joint. In order to determine whether the injection in group 2 was intra-articular or extra-articular, an x-ray will be done after the injection to ascertain the location of contrast spread. The primary outcome measure will be pain relief at 1-month. Patients who obtain benefit at 1-month will be followed at 3-months, while those who fail to obtain benefit will exit the study to receive alternative care.

Primary Outcome

This outcome measure compares the average back pain at baseline to the average back pain 1 month after the start of treatment. This is measured using the Numeric Pain Scale. The Numeric Pain Scale ranges from 0-10. 0 being no pain at all and 10 being the worst imaginable pain possible. The group receiving fluoroscopically-guided intra-articular injection is compared to the group receiving landmark-guided injections.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE X-ray SI joint steroid injection
