Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
• Interventions: Combination Product: Dextrose Water; Combination Product: Corticosteroid Injection

• Registration Number: NCT06568887
• Lead Sponsor: Superior University

Brief Summary

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is identified as a potential origin of low back pain and referred pain to the lower limb, with a prevalence rate ranging from 7% to 30%. Typically, SIJ pain manifests in the buttock and occasionally extends to the posterior aspect of the ipsilateral thigh, resembling pain originating from lumbar spine sources, such as the zygapophysial joints or intervertebral discs.

Detailed Description

For Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction (SIJD) by examining the comparative effectiveness of two distinct interventions: the innovative 5% Dextrous Water (D/W) solution and the conventional corticosteroid injection. With corticosteroids associated with well-documented side effects and concerns about long-term use, the exploration of 5% D/W is particularly timely and holds promise as a potentially safer alternative.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
VAS	12 Months	The Visual Analog Scale is a subjective measurement tool commonly used in research and clinical settings to assess the intensity or magnitude of various subjective characteristics or attitudes. It typically consists of a 100-mm horizontal or vertical line, with anchor points at each end representing extreme states (e.g., no pain to worst pain imaginable). Participants mark their perceived intensity on the line, and the distance from the starting point is measured to determine the score.
ODI	12 months	The Oswestry Disability Index is a widely used and well-established questionnaire designed to assess the impact of musculoskeletal conditions on an individual's daily activities and functionality, making it particularly relevant for conditions like piriformis syndrome. The questionnaire consists of ten sections addressing various aspects of daily life, including pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling. Participants rate their level of disability in each section on a scale from 0 to 5, with 0 indicating no disability and 5 indicating maximum disability. The scores from each section are then summed and expressed as a percentage, with higher percentages representing greater disability.
