简要总结

The goal of this open-label randomized controlled trial explored the efficacy of ultrasound guided versus F-18 Sodium Fluoride PET/CT guided local anesthetic and steroid injections in managing chronic low back pain caused by lumbar facet and sacroiliac joint arthritis.. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. To Compare the reduction in pain intensity between PET/CT guided and Ultrasound Guided facet joint injections using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at predefined follow up intervals.
  2. To compare functional improvement and disability outcomes between two study arms using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Low Back Outcome Score (LBOS).
  3. To compare association of PET/CT associated parameters with post intervention clinical response associated parameters.

Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. Randomization will be conducted using a computer-generated random sequence, ensuring a 1:1 allocation ratio between the two treatment groups

  1. Group A: Patients receiving F-18 sodium fluoride PET/CT-guided corticosteroid plus local anesthetic injection.
  2. Group B: Patients receiving Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid plus local anesthetic injection
