Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: iFuse Implant System® Minimally Invasive Arthrodesis
• Official Title: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Post-market Clinical Follow-up Trial Comparing the Effectiveness and Safety of the iFuse Implant System® Versus Conservative Management for Patients With Chronic, Disabling SI Joint Pain.
• Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes when patients with chronic sacroiliac joint pain undergo either SI joint fusion with the iFuse Implant System or undergo conservative management of the SI joint
• Detailed Description: This study is a multicenter randomized controlled, post-market clinical follow-up clinical trial of the iFuse Implant System for SI joint fusion vs. conservative management. Subjects assigned to conservative management may cross over to iFuse after a minimum of 6 months of conservative treatment. Conservative management does not include interventional procedures such as prolotherapy, steroid injections and/or RF ablation.
• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Phase: Not Applicable
• Study Design: Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment; Masking: None (Open Label); Primary Purpose: Treatment
• Condition: Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Intervention

• Device: iFuse Implant System
  Placement of iFuse implant system via surgery
• Other: Conservative Management
  Medications for pain, physical therapy, cognitive behavour therapy

Study Arms

• Experimental: iFuse Implant System

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 21-70 at time of screening
2. Patient has lower back pain for >6 months or >18 months for pregnancy induced lower back pain
3. Diagnosis of the SI joint as the primary lower back pain generator based on ALL of the following: a. Patient has pain at or close to the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) with possible radiation into buttocks, posterior thigh or groin and can point with a single finger to the location of pain (Fortin Finger Test), and b. Patient has at least 3 of 5 physical examination maneuvers specific for SI joint pain, and c. Patient has improvement in lower back pain NRS of at least 50% of the pre injection NRS score after fluoroscopic controlled injection of local anesthetic into affected SI joint(s) (including previous documented test <6 months ago)
4. Baseline Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score of at least 30%
5. Baseline lower back pain score of at least 50 on 0-100 point VAS
6. Patient has signed study-specific informed consent form
