Needle Location used for injection of the sacroiiac ligaments. Trigger point of ligaments: (IL) Iliolumbar; (LS) Lumbosacral-supra and interspinus; (A,B,C,D,) Posterior sacroiliac; (SS) Sacroapinus; (ST) Sacrotuberus;(SC) Sacrococcygeal;(H) Hip-Articular; (SN) Sciatic nerve (from G.S. Hackett, Ligament and Tendon Relaxation. Charles C. Thomas Co., 1958)
Sacroiliac joint prolotherapy is sometimes used to treat sacroiliac joint pain. Protocols vary for this procedure.
Study Protocols
Cusi et al (RCT): Dorsal interosseous injection, done under CT guidance, for clinically diagnosed source of pain. 22-g spinal needle. 5mL syringe, 1.8mL of 50% dextrose, 2.3mL bupivacaine 1%, 0.8mL iopamidol contrast. 0.8mL injected into the ligament as it moves up and down the ligament. [1]
Kim et al (RCT): Intraarticular injections. 25% dextrose solution, done by diluting 50% dextrose in bupivacaine.[2]
Hoffman et al (Retrospective cohort): 15% dextrose in lidocaine monthly three times.[3]
