Implication

Comparative study evaluates pain relief and functionality improvements in patients with lumbar facet joint syndrome, indicating ultrasound and fluoroscopy as superior techniques.

Key Points

Ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided injections significantly reduced pain and improved functionality compared to anatomical injections.
VAS and rODI scores were notably better for patients receiving ultrasound or fluoroscopy-guided injections.
Flexion and lateral bending improvements were significantly higher in the ultrasound-guided group than in other groups.
Overall, ultrasound and fluoroscopy techniques demonstrate greater efficacy in managing chronic lower back pain.
