Implication

Retrospective study finds combined hydrodissection and acupotomy improves pain and function in deep gluteal syndrome.

Key Points

This study aims to compare the short-term efficacy and safety of hydrodissection alone versus hydrodissection combined with acupotomy release in treating deep gluteal syndrome.
Retrospective analysis of 82 patients with deep gluteal syndrome.
Patients divided into hydrodissection group and combined group with acupotomy.
Both groups underwent ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve hydrodissection.
Primary outcomes measured included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores at two weeks post-treatment.
Both groups showed significant improvements in VAS and ODI scores at two weeks compared to baseline.
The combined group experienced a greater improvement in VAS scores with a median difference of 1 point.
ODI scores improved significantly more in the combined group compared to hydrodissection alone.
