The Therapeutic Efficacy of Sacroiliac Joint Blocks With Triamcinolone Acetonide in the Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction Without Spondyloarthropathy

Abstract

SIJ blocks with triamcinolone acetonide are beneficial for some patients with SIJ pain without spondyloarthropathy. The SIJ blocks showed a long-lasting efficacy in two-thirds of the patients; however, the duration of its efficacy was shorter in patients with a history of lumbar/lumbosacral fusion. These findings suggest the need for further studies.
