Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This will be a comparative randomized controlled trial study,aim to compare the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid injection with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection among patients with sacroilitis. The patients will be divided into two groups that is Group A and Group B by lottery method. Group A will receive the Intraarticular Corticosteroid Injection and will be considered as control where as the Group B will receive the Autologus Platelet Rich Plasma Injection and will be considered as Intervention group.
Patient in each group will be given appointment for the day of procedure to be performed.
Group B Patients will receive Intraarticular Platelet Rich Plasma Injection. Before procedure patient's Platelets count will be checked and other heamotology related conditions including bleeding disorders will be ruled out. On the day of procedure, patient's vitals will be checked. After that Nursing Assistant will preload the Collecting Syringe with 1 ml Acid Citrate Dextrose. After adopting aseptic technique including wearing gloves and skin cleansing with Pyodine, 15 ml blood will be collected from the patient. Blood will be placed in Centrifuge machine. 1st soft spin will be given and then the hard spin. The heamatologist will collect the lower level of plasma along with buffy coat. Patient's Painful Sacroiliac joint will again be identified. Ligocaine gel will applied for 5 minutes. The aseptic techniques including the drapping and skin cleansing will follow. Patient will receive the Platelet Rich Plasma in affected joint only. The procedure will be performed by Consultant Doctor Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Patient will be retained in the Hospital fro next 30 minutes. The whole procedure starting from Patients in Group B reporting to hospital till allowing to leave will take 90 minutes.
Also all the processes will be performed under the supervision of researcher.

Comparator / control treatment
In Control group that is Group A, Patient will receive 40 mg Traimcinolone Acetate. Lignocaine gel will be applied for 5 minutes before the procedure performed. The procedure will be performed only once and it will take 45 minutes including the post injection 15 minutes rest time. The procedure will be performed by Consultant Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Group A patients will receive Ultrasound guided Intra-articular Traimcinolone Acetate Injection, Before the procedure patient will be screen out for any blood disorder. After reporting patient's vitals will be checked. The painful Sacroiliac Joint will be identified and marked. Lignocaine gel will be applied for 5 minutes. Patient will drapped and aseptic measures have been taken including the skin preparation with Pyodine. Patient will injected with 40mg Traimcinolone Acetate with 27 guage Spinal Needle. Patient will be rested in the prone position for 30 minutes. The procedure for each patient in Group A will take 60 minutes.

Summary
Brief summary
The sacroiliac (SI) joints, crucial for weight bearing and stabilized by robust ligaments, exhibit limited motion; their dysfunction, particularly noted in conditions leading to increased movement or fibrous adhesions, is linked to lower back pain. The diagnosis of SI joint dysfunction is one of exclusion, with specific physical tests helping in the confirmation of the diagnosis; however, therapeutic diagnostic injections can give definite confirmation, although it is a diagnostic test with variable reliability. Traditional treatments span NSAIDs and physical therapy all the way to corticosteroid injections and surgery. Recent studies focused the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for sustaining pain relief and the restoration of joint function. Research on biologics, including PRP, is growing, with these treatments offering nondestructive alternatives that release growth factors from platelets for tissue repair and regeneration. The aim of the study is to report the efficacy of PRP in the treatment of sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
