Injection Treatment of Corticosteroid to Pelvic Ligament Insertions on Women With Longlasting Backpain After Pregnancy

Summary

To evaluate the pain relief effect of locally injected corticosteroid treatment in women with long-lasting low back pain beginning in pregnancy. We hypothesize that the insertion of the sacrospinous ligament on the ischial spine would be a source of pain and therefore be a target for therapy. Primary outcome measure is reported pain intensity on visual analogue scale and secondary outcome measures number of pain-drawing locations, pain-provoking test results and tests of function.
