Summary

This study aimed to see if ultrasound could help doctors better understand piriformis syndrome, a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on the sciatic nerve and causes leg pain. Researchers measured the thickness of the sciatic nerve and piriformis muscle on both the painful and pain-free sides in 19 people. The goal was to learn more about the condition and improve diagnosis.
