First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using ultrasound along with fluoroscopy (X-ray) for sacroiliac joint injections reduces procedure time and radiation exposure compared to fluoroscopy alone. The trial involved 38 adults with chronic low back or gluteal pain who had not responded to conservative treatments. Researchers measured how long the injection took and how much radiation patients received.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sacroiliac joint injection (corticosteroid and local anesthetic)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make sacroiliac joint injections faster and safer by reducing radiation exposure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study focuses on procedure technique, not long-term pain relief.
