About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Sacroiliac Joint Somatic Dysfunction focused on measuring Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, Manuel therapy, Sacroiliac joint injection

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Low back and/or gluteal pain and/or groin pain without radicular extension below the L4 level for more than 3 months
  • Pain score greater than 3 according to NRS
  • Unresponsiveness to conservative treatment (such as exercise, NSAID)
  • At least 3 of the five sacroiliac provocation tests (FABER (Patrick), thigh thrust, Gaenslen, sacroiliac compression, and sacroiliac distraction tests) are positive

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refusing to participate in the study
  • Pregnancy
  • History of inflammatory disease (ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.)
  • Infective sacroiliitis
  • Malignancy
  • Osteoporosis

Experimental

Arm Label

Manuel therapy and exercise group

Sacroiliac injection and exercise group

Arm Description

Patients in the manual therapy group will receive 5 sessions of sacroiliac joint manipulation once a week. And home exercises will be given and told. Each patient will do exercise 4 days a week for 4 weeks.

To patients in the injection group corticosteroid (1 ml 40 mg methylprednisolone) and local anesthetic (1 ml 1% lidocaine)will be injected into the sacroiliac joint using a 22 G spinal needle, guided by fluoroscopy (C-arm fluoroscopy). And home exercises will be given and told. Each patient will do exercise 4 days a week for 4 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Numeric Rating Scale, NRS
NRS is an 11-grade scale that evaluates the severity of pain in adults .NRS is one of the most commonly used scales in the assessment of pain severity. Possible scores ranges from 0( no pain) to 10 ( worst pain)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Oswestry Disability index
The Oswestry disability index will be used to evaluate how much the patients' low back pain limits their activities in daily life. This index was first created in 1980 . The questionnaire consists of 10 sections, each assessing limitations in different daily activities and functions. Each section is scored from 0 to 5. A score of 0 indicates that there is no restriction while doing that activity, while a score of 5 represents the highest level of restriction in that activity. The maximum score is 50. As the total score increases, the disability level of the individual increases. In 2004, Turkish validity study was carried out by Yakut et al.
