Abstract in brief

  • Piriformis syndrome is characterized by four main symptoms: buttock pain, pain worsened by sitting, tenderness near the greater sciatic notch, and pain during certain muscle tension maneuvers, along with limited straight leg raising.
  • Current research on its clinical features is limited by poor quality reports and biased studies, making it difficult to confirm the accuracy of diagnostic tests and symptoms.
  • Although evidence shows the piriformis muscle can cause sciatica similar to herniated discs, more rigorous, unbiased cross-sectional studies are needed to determine how common this is and how reliably it can be diagnosed.

Thanks, @thomas_jesson that was the 1st to define the syndrome by systematic review, up until then had only personal clinician experience. It was updated ⬇, noting that a positive straight leg test can also be present i.e. dosnt rule out DGS. ref ⬇️ https://t.co/4i2qILmPC2 https://t.co/4bstjJ4nsA https://t.co/SgEHhb06lg
