Investigation of the Presence of Piriformis Syndrome Accompanying Lumbar Radiculopathy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound guided piriformis muscle lidocaine injection for Piriformis Syndrome and Lumbar Radiculopathy. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by piriformis muscle tenderness, hip, and leg pain, and may be accompanied by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve under the piriformis muscle. There are many studies in the literature to establish diagnostic criteria for piriformis syndrome, and there is still no clear consensus on these criteria. However, cases with lumbar radiculopathy were accepted as exclusion criteria in all these studies. The aim of our study is to investigate whether lumbar radiculopathy and piriformis syndrome can coexist. For this reason, a diagnostic piriformis muscle injection under ultrasonography guidance is planned for patients with lumbar radiculopathy who also have a prediagnosis of piriformis syndrome clinically.
