1 A Multitest Regimen of Pain Provocation Tests as an Aid to Reduce Unnecessary Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac Joint Procedures  Peter van der Wurff, PT, PhD, Evert J. Buijs, MD, Gerbrand J.

2 Fig 1 The relative reductions of pre-post VAS scores (%, ΔVAS) of patients after intra-articular SIJ injection of short- and long-acting anesthetics. Data are rearranged to separate nonresponders (left side) and responders (right side). Dashed line represents 50% level of the VAS reduction.

3 Fig 2 The ROC curve of the positive pain provocation tests with positive SIJ blocks (≥50% VAS reduction). The number of positive provocation tests (1–5) is shown at the relevant cutoff points of the curve. NOTE. AUC=.799; standard error, .059; 95% CI, .676–.891.
