F-18 Sodium Fluoride PET/CT Guided Versus Ultrasound- Guided Intra-articular Injections in Chronic Low Backache (PET-FACET)
F-18 Sodium Fluoride PET/CT Guided Pain Palliation in Chronic Low Backache : Comparing the Efficacy of Ultrasound - Guided Vs PET/CT Guided Intra-articular Injections of Corticosteroid and Local Anesthetic.
The goal of this open-label randomized controlled trial explored the efficacy of ultrasound guided versus F-18 Sodium Fluoride PET/CT guided local anesthetic and steroid injections in managing chronic low back pain caused by lumbar facet and sacroiliac joint arthritis.. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- To Compare the reduction in pain intensity between PET/CT guided and Ultrasound Guided facet joint injections using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at predefined follow up intervals.
- To compare functional improvement and disability outcomes between two study arms using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Low Back Outcome Score (LBOS).
- To compare association of PET/CT associated parameters with post intervention clinical response associated parameters.
Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. Randomization will be conducted using a computer-generated random sequence, ensuring a 1:1 allocation ratio between the two treatment groups
- Group A: Patients receiving F-18 sodium fluoride PET/CT-guided corticosteroid plus local anesthetic injection.
- Group B: Patients receiving Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid plus local anesthetic injection

Active Comparator: F-18 Sodium Fluoride Guided intra-articular Injection
Patients in this group will PET/CT guided intra articular block of the facet joint or sacroiliac joint using local anesthetic and corticosteroid

• A combination of steroids (80 mg methylprednisolone acetate) and 0.5% bupivacaine will be injected into the intra-articular and periarticular regions of the targeted LFJ(lumbar facet Joint) or SIJ(sacroiliac Joint) under F-18 sodium fluoride PET/CT guidance, with doses equally divided for multiple joints, if required

Ensisijaiset tulostoimenpiteet
Tulosmittaus |
Toimenpiteen kuvaus |
Aikaikkuna |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score
Aikaikkuna: From date of intervention to follow up at 20 weeks.
|
Change in pain intensity from baseline to follow-up as measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
The VAS is a 10-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain.
Lower scores indicate less pain.
|
From date of intervention to follow up at 20 weeks.
|
|
Change in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
Aikaikkuna: From date of intervention to the follow up at 20 weeks
|
Change in disability from baseline to follow-up as measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
The ODI is scored from 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater disability and poorer functional status.
Lower scores indicate improvement in disability.
|
From date of intervention to the follow up at 20 weeks
|
|
Change in Low Back Outcome Score (LBOS)
Aikaikkuna: From date of intervention to follow up at 20 weeks
|
Change in functional outcome from baseline to follow-up as measured using the Low Back Outcome Score (LBOS).
The LBOS ranges from 0 to 75 points, with higher scores indicating better functional outcome and lower levels of disability.
Higher scores indicate improvement in functional status.

Correlation between baseline SUVmax and improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score
Aikaikkuna: From baseline F-18 Sodium fluoride PET/CT to follow up PET/CT and clinical assessment at 20 weeks
|
Correlation between baseline maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) measured on PET/CT and change in pain severity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS; 0-10 points).
Improvement will be calculated as the difference between baseline and follow-up VAS scores.
Correlation analysis will be performed using Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient, as appropriate.
