Efficacy of Treatments for Piriformis Syndrome by jimmy13227 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This randomized controlled trial compares the efficacy of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections (USI) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in treating piriformis syndrome (PS) among 70 patients. Both treatments showed significant improvements in pain and disability scores, but no clear superiority of one method over the other was established due to pretreatment differences. The study concludes that both USI and ESWT are effective for PS, with similar levels of efficacy.
