Piriformis syndrome: Still unsolved issues
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
Piriformis Syndrome (PS) is an example of extra-spinal sciatica due to compressive neuropathy and can also be named as ‘deep gluteal syndrome’, ‘pelvic outlet syndrome’ or ‘pseudo-sciatica’. Its prevalence among Low Back Pain (LBP) sufferers ranged between 0.3% and 36%; though the condition is prevalent in women, men also get the disorder. So, future researchers could explore them and could provide more consistent information concerning piriformis syndrome.
