Background: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction is a term often used to describe pain in or around the region of the joint that is presumed to be due to traumatic, infection, Inflammatory, degenerative, metabolic and biomechanical disorders of the joint. The sacroiliac joint has been implicated as the primary source in 10% to 25% of the patient with low back pain. Patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain go through the various conservative interventions and surgical management option for managing sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction. In addition, there continue to be significant variations in the application of various interventions as well as a paucity of literature.
Purpose: The study is to provide an overview of research studies focused on the various treatment procedures and find out the gap in the literature for the future studies the sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Methods: Studies in any language were identified by searching through databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, and PEDro. Articles in which some form of treatment methods was used to manage the sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction were included. The PRISMA guidelines were followed for methodological quality.
Results: 112 studies were considered for inclusion. Of these, 97 were excluded and 15 randomized clinical trials were included. The evidence for intra articular steroid injection, exercise therapy and minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion was fair; however neurotomy, radiofrequency denervation, intra articular prolotherapy, LASER, mesotherapy, manual and physical therapy were limited.
Conclusion: On analyzing the result it was found that there is lack of evidence of any standardized intervention for managing the sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Thus it can be concluded that more concentration should be imposed on other treatment method like soft tissue release and manual therapy for the effective treatment on the condition of sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction.
Key Words: Low back pain, Sacroiliac joint pain, Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
