An 11-point numerical rating scale pain score was recorded at rest and at activity pre- and post-procedure. Opioids prescribed to the patient both pre- and post-procedure were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mean duration of pain prior to sacroplasty was 3\u2005weeks (IQR 2\u20135). Procedural complications were minimal. Median post-procedure follow-up time was 2.5\u2005weeks (IQR 1\u20135) among 45 patients with available data. Thirty-seven (82%) of the 45 patients experienced a numerical or descriptive decrease from initial pain at follow-up. Median activity pain scores collected from 13 patients decreased from 10 (IQR 8.5\u201310) pre-procedure to 6 (IQR 4\u20136.8) post-procedure (p&lt;0.0001), and median rest pain scores collected from 29 patients decreased from 7 (IQR 4\u20138.5) to 2 (IQR 1\u20133.5)(p&lt;0.0001). Twenty-two (76%) of 29 patients had at least a 30% decrease in rest pain scores. The median number of opioids prescribed per patient decreased from 1 (IQR 1\u20132) pre-procedure to 0 (IQR 0\u20131) post-procedure (p&lt;0.0001). Thirty-four of 57 patients (60%) had decreased opioid usage, 15 (26%) patients had unchanged usage and 8 (14%) had increased usage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
