Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: Prospective case control study. SETTING: Spine hospital. PATIENTS: Patients who were diagnosed with SIJ syndrome based on physical examination and diagnostic SIJ injection were selected. INTERVENTIONS: OUTCOME MEASURES: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used for evaluation at pretreatment, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after treatment. RESULTS: At 1 month, the BT and TA group showed no significant differences in NRS or ODI. However, at 2 and 3 months, the BT group had significantly lower scores in NRS and ODI than did the TA group. CONCLUSION: BT shows clinical usefulness in pain reduction and for functional improvement in patients with SIJ pain. This effect was maintained for 3 months following the injection, by which time the effects of TA had diminished.
