ANDRES ARES, J. De et al. Block and radiofrequency sacroiliac joint. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.6, pp.335-345. ISSN 1134-8046.
Sacroiliac joint (ASI) is an important source of pain, contributing to 15% of chronic back pain. There are numerous diagnostic tests, although historical and physical examination findings and radiological imaging are insufficient for a proper diagnosis. An analgesic response to a properly performed diagnostic block, is the most reliable method to diagnose sacroiliac joint pain. If there is a positive block, radiofrequency denervation of the ASI is performed for a longterm pain-free period. The following article will review the anatomy, diagnosis and interventional treatment of sacroiliac joint pain.
