Arms & Interventions

Fluoroscopic-guided S1 Radiofrequency stimulation

Active Comparator

Intervention: Fluoroscopic-guided S1 Radiofrequency stimulation (Procedure)

Ultrasound-guided S1 Radiofrequency stimulation

Experimental

Intervention: Ultrasound-guided S1 Radiofrequency stimulation (Procedure)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pain scores

Time Frame: baseline to 6 months post-procedure

Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain at the follow-up time periods. The visual analog scale is a numerical scale from 0 to 10; with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst pain imaginable.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)(baseline to 6 months post-procedure)
  • Patient satisfaction Questionnaire(baseline to 6 months post-procedure)
