There is evidence that MRgFUS might be a very safe and effective minimally invasive technique to treat sacroiliac joint pain caused by arthritis and other degenerative changes. This study in a chronic swine model demonstrated safety and effectiveness of MRgFUS sacroiliac joint ablation and precise ablation of the posterior sacral nerve supply with MRgFUS.
