NCT ID NCT07624045
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (like Botox) into the piriformis muscle can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with piriformis muscle syndrome. About 108 adults who have had buttock or leg pain for at least 3 months and haven't gotten relief from physical therapy or painkillers will receive either the toxin or a placebo. The goal is to see if this treatment offers a less invasive option before considering surgery.
