Summary

This study tested whether using a special PET/CT scan to guide injections into the spine joints works better than the usual ultrasound method for people with long-term low back pain. Forty adults who did not get relief from standard treatments received a steroid and numbing medicine injection using one of the two guidance methods. The goal was to see which approach reduces pain and improves daily function more effectively.
