Recruiting studies
- NCT06460675Recruiting
Comparing two muscle-relaxing techniques for piriformis syndrome
This study compares two gentle muscle-relaxing techniques (called muscle energy techniques) to treat piriformis syndrome—a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve and causes pain. If you have hip or buttock pain that’s been bothersome for at least 3 months and worsens with sitting, this trial may help find a better way to manage your pain.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT06753487Recruiting
Comparing two gentle therapies for piriformis syndrome in women
This trial tests two hands-on treatments (Facilitated Positional Release and Manual Myofascial Release) to see which works better for women with piriformis syndrome. If you're a woman aged 25–50 with buttock or hip pain for at least 2 months, this study might help you find relief.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–50 - NCT07044869Recruiting
Comparing two hand therapies for piriformis syndrome in women
This study compares two gentle hands-on treatments – a 'facilitated positional release' technique and a 'manual myofascial release' technique – to see which better relieves pain from piriformis syndrome in women.
IslamabadAges 25–50 - NCT07090356Recruiting
Soft tissue therapy versus stretching for athletes with piriformis syndrome
This study compares two techniques—instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and PNF stretching—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in athletes with piriformis syndrome. It may help if you are an athlete with ongoing buttock or hip pain that makes sitting uncomfortable.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT07526012Recruiting
Stretching techniques for buttock pain from pinched nerve
This study compares two stretching methods to treat piriformis syndrome, a condition where a muscle in your buttock pinches a nerve. The trial tests whether one stretching approach works better than the other for reducing pain.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–55 - NCT07322185Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two bodywork methods for piriformis syndrome
This study compares two hands-on treatments, Stecco-fascial manipulation and Rolfing, for people with piriformis syndrome—a condition that causes buttock pain. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving movement.
Sambrial, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT07502573Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two exercise programs for piriformis syndrome
This trial compares a home exercise program with a telerehabilitation program for people with piriformis syndrome. Researchers want to see which approach helps reduce pain and improve function better.
Ankara, KeciorenAges 18–45 - NCT06534788Recruiting
Comparing two muscle therapies for piriformis syndrome
This study tests two different hands-on therapy techniques (reciprocal inhibition and post-facilitation muscle energy) along with standard physical therapy to see which works better for relieving piriformis syndrome—a condition that causes deep buttock pain. You may benefit if you have chronic hip/buttock pain and a shortened piriformis muscle.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–50 - NCT06102733Recruiting
Pelvic pain study for women and men
This trial is testing treatments for chronic pelvic pain, sacroiliac pain, groin pain, tailbone pain, and piriformis pain. It may help people with persistent pain in these areas find relief.
Surrey, British ColumbiaAges 20–99 - NCT05023005Recruiting
Strain-Counterstrain therapy for piriformis muscle pain
This trial tests a hands-on physical therapy technique called “strain-counterstrain” to reduce pain from the piriformis muscle. It may help people whose pain is coming from that specific muscle rather than the low back.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for piriformis syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting piriformis syndrome studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a piriformis syndrome trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a piriformis syndrome trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
