Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, double blinded, parallel group, single centered interventional trial comparing the clinical effect of ultrasound and fluoroscopy guided injection of corticosteroid in sacroiliac joint in terms of pain reduction and improvement of disability arising from lower back pain in patients of spondyloarthropathy. This study will be conducted in only one center (in India). The primary outcome measurements are change of severity of pain measured by using the NRS score (0-10) and disability due to lower back pain by Oswestry disability index in baseline (visit 0), at 1 week (visit 1), 4 weeks (visit 2), 12 weeks (visit 3).
