Objective:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of full-endoscopic sacroiliac joint denervation (FE-SJD) for managing chronic low back pain (CLBP) by analyzing pooled data from multiple studies, including specific clinical trials and observational studies.

Key Findings:
  • FE-SJD shows promising results in pain relief and functional improvement for CLBP patients, but long-term efficacy and safety data are still limited, necessitating further research.
  • Minimally invasive techniques like FE-SJD may reduce recovery times and complications compared to traditional surgical methods.
Interpretation:

FE-SJD appears to be a viable minimally invasive option for managing CLBP, but further research is needed to confirm its long-term effectiveness and safety.

Limitations:
  • Limited long-term follow-up data on FE-SJD outcomes may affect the reliability of the findings.
  • Potential biases in included studies due to non-randomized designs could skew results and impact clinical applicability.
  • Variability in study methodologies and patient populations may limit the generalizability of the findings.
Conclusion:

FE-SJD may represent a promising alternative for treating CLBP, but further investigation is essential to establish its role in clinical practice and inform treatment guidelines.
