Twenty-one patients with cervical facet syndrome underwent 39 facet joint infiltrations with corticosteroids using fluoroscopic guidance. There were 22 intra-articular and 17 peri-articular injections. This treatment relieved symptoms in 91% of patients. Follow-up ranged from one week to 12 months. However, symptoms usually recurred, specifically in 71% of patients with complete responses and in 42% of those with partial relief. There was no significant difference in response between patients receiving intra-articular or peri-articular injections (chi 2 = 2.283).
21例患有颈椎小关节综合征的患者在透视引导下接受了39次使用皮质类固醇的小关节注射。其中关节内注射22次，关节周围注射17次。该治疗使91%的患者症状得到缓解。随访时间为1周至12个月。然而，症状通常会复发，尤其是在91%症状完全缓解的患者中有71%复发，在部分缓解的患者中有42%复发。接受关节内或关节周围注射的患者在治疗反应上无显著差异（卡方值=2.283）。
