Piriformis muscle syndrome (PMS) is characterized by symptoms caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle as it exits the sciatic notch. PMS commonly evokes the symptoms of sciatica and is likely underdisagnosed. Patients who experience pain related to piriformis syndrome will complain of aggravated pain after prolonged periods of sitting or upon rising from a seated position. Around 98% of patients evoke positional buttock pain, especially during prolonged sitting (car journeys, for example). This is less true for sciatic pain radiation, which is still found in 63% of cases, systematically associated with the notion of buttock pain. Treatments for PMS aim to reduce or eliminate sciatic pain and also control buttock pain. Reducing these pains can improve the physical condition and emotional state of the patient. Several approaches have been proposed including physical therapy (massage-physiotherapy, self-rehabilitation techniques) combined with the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics and muscle relaxants to reduce inflammation, spasm and pain. Many patients do not respond to conventional care. Surgery may be considered only in those cases who do not improve with conservative therapy or injections. However, decompressive surgery is an invasive treatment, indicated in case of complete failure of all medical strategies, with physical and functional consequences. In recent years, several published studies showed the use of botulinum toxin (BT) injection as a new therapeutic option to reduce buttock and sciatic pain induced by PMS. The study team previously observed the efficacy of BT/A1 administration into the piriformis muscle in patients who were previously treated with medication and rehabilitation protocols with no pain improvement. Pain relief was considered as "very good" or "good" for 77% of the patients, "average" for 7.4% and "poor" for 15.6%. No adverse events were reported. More recently, Fishman and colleagues reported the results of a randomized, double-blind, controlled study including 56 patients and comparing physical therapy, incobotulinum toxin A and placebo. Data are sparse concerning BT injection for PMS and no multicenter randomized clinical trial have been performed. Two out of three randomized trials (Fishman 2004, 2017) are based on highly selected patients (3 standard deviations or more beyond on the prolongation of the posterior tibial or fibular nerve H-reflex in FAIR test). Therefore, BT efficacy may be overestimated and remains to be evaluated among unselected PMS patients, regardless of analgesic treatments or physical therapy. Finally, no randomized studies have reported the heatlh-related quality of life of PMS patients.
