Effective primary management of axSpA requires a comprehensive approach specific to each patient and disease severity. Non-pharmacological measures form the cornerstone of treatment. With refractory disease, management also consists of local periarticular and intraarticular injections. The use of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) corticosteroid injections for the treatment of axSpA and localised inflammation, however, is a continuously burgeoning management option. This narrative review aims to present consolidated findings and summarise previously unreferenced or recently available evidence regarding corticosteroid injections to the SIJ for treating sacroiliitis and axSpA.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A comprehensive literary review with the following electronic databases was searched: MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The initial search yielded a total of 126 references.

The studies presented in this review reported a general trend towards a reduction in pain severity after SIJ corticosteroid injections.
