Objective To observe the clinical effect of using needle knife combined with sacral block treatment for piriformis syndrome. Methods A total of 100 patients with piriformis syndrome admitted to our hospital from September 2022 to September 2023 were randomly divided into a control group of 50 cases who received needle knife treatment, and an observation group of 50 cases who received needle knife combined with sacral canal block treatment. The pain level, pain threshold, functional recovery, and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group had lower pain levels, higher tenderness threshold levels, and better functional recovery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). However, the difference in adverse reactions between the two groups was relatively small (P>0.05). Conclusion The use of needle knife combined with sacral block treatment for piriformis syndrome has a better clinical effect, reducing the degree of pain in patients, improving pain threshold levels, and promoting functional recovery of the body. Moreover, the combination of treatment does not significantly increase adverse reactions, and the treatment is safe and has high clinical application value.
