Involvement of Transverso-sacral- Neo- Articulations or of Transverso-iliac Articulations in Chronic Lumbago

Phase 4
Terminated
Conditions
Subjects Suffering of Lateralized Lumbago on Side of the Malformation (Neo-articulation)
Interventions
Drug: corticoid (altim® 1.5 ml)
Drug: physiological solution (1.5 ml)
Registration Number
NCT01206699
Lead Sponsor
Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

The specific aim of this study is to determine whether, when treated with corticoid infiltration, certain chronic lumbagos could be explained by the presence of a neo-articulation.The primary criteria is to determine the difference between the mean pain during the latest 24 hours preceding the infiltration and the mean pain preceding the visit S4 (visit 4 weeks after the infiltration)

To determine whether, when treated with corticoid infiltration, certain chronic lumbagos could be explained by the presence of a neo-articulation.The primary criteria is to determine the difference between the mean pain during the latest 24 hours preceding the infiltration and the mean pain preceding the visit S4 (visit 4 weeks after the infiltration)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To determine whether the improvement by the infiltration of corticoid is present at visit J7 (visit 7 days after the infiltration) and at visit S12 (visit 12 weeks after the infiltration)
To determine whether an anesthetic positif bloc (decrease of the pain of more than 75 % during the hour that follows the infiltration) is a predictive factor of the final result
To determine whether corticoïd infiltration can decrease the intake of drugs et decrease the functional handicap
