Efficacy of C-arm fluoroscopy guided sacroiliac joint ozone injection for sacroiliac pain / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Retrospective analysis was performed for 68 sacroiliac joint pain patients treated at our hospital from June 2007 to March 2012.And 27 patients received sacroiliac joint ozone injection,and others anti-inflammatory and analgesic solution.Both methods can significantly relieve sacroiliac joint pain (P ＜ 0.05).However there was no inter-group difference (P ＞ 0.05).No difference existed in efficacy [(0.51 ±0.03) vs.(0.34 ±0.06) cm],treatment frequency (1.98 ±0.94) vs.(1.82 ±0.88) or hospitalization duration [(14.6 ± 7.0) vs.(14.9 ± 6.4) days] between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Thus sacroiliac joint ozone injection can significantly relieve sacroiliac joint pain and its effect is similar to anti-inflammatory analgesic injection.
