ABSTRACT

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is responsible for up to 40% of all cases of lumbar back pain. Objective Report the long-term efficacy of radiofrequency denervation for sacroiliac joint pain at six, twelve and eighteen months.Method Third-two adults’ patients with sacroiliac join pain diagnosis were included for a prospective study. Primary outcome measure was pain intensity on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Secondary outcome measure was Patient Global Impression of Change Scale (PGIC).Results Short-term pain relief was observed, with the mean NRS pain score decreasing from 7.7 ± 1.8 at baseline to 2.8 ± 1.2 at one month and to 3.1 ± 1.9 at six months post-procedure (p < 0.001). Long-term pain relief was sustained at twelve and eighteen months post-procedure, with NRS pain remaining at 3.4 ± 2.1 and 4.0 ± 2.7, respectively.Conclusion Radiofrequency denervation of the SIJ can significantly reduce pain in selected patients with sacroiliac syndrome.


A Sacroileíte pode ser responsável por até 40% dos casos de dor lombar crônica. Objetivo Análise da eficácia da denervação por radiofrequência na articulação sacro-ilíaca em seis, doze e dezoito meses.Método Trinta e dois pacientes com diagnóstico de sacroileíte foram incluídos em estudo prospectivo. O prognóstico primário foi avaliado pela escala visual analógico (NRS). O prognóstico secundário foi avaliado pela escala de impressão global de mudança pelo paciente (PGIC).Resultados Melhora a curto prazo da dor foi observada, com redução media na NRS de 7,7 ± 1,8 para 2,8 ± 1,2 após 1 mês e para 3,1 ± 1,9 em 6 meses do procedimento (p < 0,001). Após 12 e 18 meses, o NRS manteve-se 3,4 ± 2,1 e 4,0 ± 2,7, respectivamente.Conclusão A denervação da articulação sacro-ilíaca por radiofrequência pode reduzir significativamente a dor em pacientes com sacroileíte.
