Jandas vs PNF for pain and mobility in lower back pain
This study compares two physical therapy methods—Jandas Approach and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)—to see which works better for reducing lower back pain, improving movement, and making daily activities easier.

Nerve block comparison for kidney removal surgery pain
This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
Al FayyumAges 18–65 - NCT07555314Recruiting
Outpatient Catheter for Lidocaine Pain Treatment
This trial tests using a special catheter (thin tube) to deliver lidocaine—a numbing medication—to treat chronic pain on an outpatient basis. Researchers want to see if this approach helps manage long-term pain effectively.

Splinting for Wrist Fractures Study
This study tests how splinting helps people with suspected broken wrists (fractures of the radius bone at the wrist). You'll be included if you have moderate to severe wrist pain and imaging shows a fracture.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT07558278RecruitingPhase 4
LINQ procedure vs standard care for sacroiliac joint pain
This study compares a new procedure called LINQ—which stabilizes the sacroiliac joint (the joint where your spine connects to your pelvis)—against standard pain management for chronic sacroiliac joint pain. The trial tests whether this procedure reduces pain and disability better than medications and physical therapy alone.

TRAQ Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Study
This study tests a minimally invasive surgical procedure called TRAQ to treat chronic sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain—a type of lower back and buttock pain. The procedure may help if you've had pain for at least 6 months that didn't improve with non-surgical treatments and have already benefited from diagnostic joint injections.
