简要总结
This study is being conducted on patients with piriformis syndrome. Patients are divided into two groups by list randomization method: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) group and Dry neddling (DN) group. Both groups of patients agreed to perform basic stretching exercises. The ESWT group received 3 sessions of radial ESWT, 1 session per week. The DN group received 3 sessions of ultrasound-guided needling, 1 session per week. Clinical evaluations of the participants were performed at the beginning of treatment, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment.

研究组 & 干预措施
ESWT group
Patients in this group received three sessions of ESWT at an energy density of 4 bars and a frequency of 2,000 shocks/min at 5 Hz for three weeks, each session once a week.
干预措施: ESWT+stretching exercises (Other)
Dry needling
The piriformis muscle of the patients in the group will be dry needled with 0.6*80 mm acupuncture needles under ultrasound guidance for 3 sessions at one week intervals.
干预措施: Dry needling+stretching exercises (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Visual analog scale (VAS) score
时间窗: 7 months
Pain was evaluated with a Visual analog scale (VAS) score
Lower extremity functiunal scale (LEFS)
时间窗: 7 months
Pain was evaluated with a Lower extremity functiunal scale (LEFS (minimum=0, maximum=80)) The higher the score, the better the result
Oswestry disability index (ODI)
时间窗: 7 months
Pain was evaluated with a Oswestry disability index (ODI (minimum=0, maximum=60))The lower the score the better the result
