Using health and movement data to diagnose sacroiliac pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at medical records and physical/neurological exam findings to help diagnose sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common source of chronic low back or buttock pain. It may help your care team better sort out what’s causing your pain and choose the right next steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being seen in a clinic for long-lasting low back or buttock pain
- Your pain may or may not move (radiate) into your legs
- You have NOT had surgery for this specific problem (sacroiliac joint dysfunction)
- You do NOT have an inflammatory condition that could explain the back pain
- You do NOT have active cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether strengthening the latissimus dorsi (back) and gluteal (buttock) muscles can reduce pain and disability in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It may help if you have chronic low back pain related to this joint and are not receiving other treatments.
This trial tests whether a combination of hands-on joint mobilization techniques and specific movement control exercises can reduce pain and improve function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (pain in the lower back/buttock area where the spine connects to the pelvis). You would receive these treatments over several weeks and be measured on pain relief, movement, walking, and daily activities.
This study compares two hands-on treatments for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and hip pain. It aims to see which approach better reduces pain, improves movement, and helps with daily activities.
This study compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques to reduce lower back pain, improve walking, and restore function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (a condition affecting the joint connecting your spine to your pelvis). You'll receive treatment and be assessed to see which technique works better.
This study compares two physical therapy techniques—core muscle training and muscle energy techniques—to see which works better for lower back pain coming from the sacroiliac joint. It may help if your pain is on one side of your lower back or buttock and has lasted at least three months.
This study compares two types of hands-on therapy (a gentle side-lying adjustment vs. a lower back roll) to see which works better for long-lasting low back pain caused by the sacroiliac joint. If you have ongoing pain and are open to physical treatments, this trial may help find the best approach.
