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.
