Authors' objectives:
To explore the feasibility of running a RCT to test the hypothesis that, for people with suspected facet joint back pain, adding the option of intra-articular FJIs (local anaesthetic and corticosteroids) to best usual non-invasive care is clinically effective and cost-effective.
Authors' recommendations:
This feasibility study achieved consensus on the main challenges in a trial of FJIs for people with persistent non-specific low back pain.
