About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Manual Therapy and Sacroiliac Joint Injection in the Treatment of Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of manual therapy and sacroiliac joint injections in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Being tested
Manuel therapy, Sacroiliac joint injection
Keywords
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, Manuel therapy, Sacroiliac joint injection

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Manuel therapyOther

    Some sacroiliac manipulation and mobilization techniques will be applied to patients by an experienced physiatrist. Patients in the manual therapy group will receive 5 sessions of sacroiliac joint manipulation once a week.

  • Sacroiliac joint injectionOther

    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) by an experienced physiatrist. It will be applied just one time.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 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)

    Measured: Change from baseline NRS at 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6
