Pain Med. 2022 Jul 1;23(7): 1266-1271.Twenty-six patients with sacroiliac joint pain were randomized to either the corticosteroid injection group (n=11) or the intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection (PRP; n=15) group. The two primary outcomes of this trial were pain on the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and functional disability using the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ODI), measured at 1, 3, and 6 months.
