Ultrasound-guided dextrose shots for Ehlers-Danlos back pain
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether ultrasound-guided dextrose injections can reduce chronic low back pain linked to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It aims to target specific tender areas around the sacroiliac (SI) joint and related muscles using guided injection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–75 years old
- You have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and chronic low back pain lasting more than 3 months
- Your pain is tied to SI-joint or nearby muscle pain found on exam (tenderness in specific back areas)
- Ultrasound testing will need to show tenderness/inflammation signs in targeted back tissues
- You must be able to avoid certain pain medicines and steroids around the study period

This trial tests a nerve-ablation device (Neurolyser XR) for people with long-lasting sacroiliac joint pain—pain in the lower back where the spine connects to the pelvis. You may qualify if you've had good results (over 70% pain relief) from a previous similar procedure or injection in the past 6 months and still have moderate pain.
This study tests whether dry needling (thin needles placed into specific muscles) can reduce moderate, long-lasting lower back pain. It focuses on people who have pain from trigger points in a specific back muscle, rather than pain caused by other medical problems.
This study tests two treatments for chronic low back pain: a special injection of dextrose (a sugar solution) guided by ultrasound, and a technique to mobilize the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back. It aims to see if these help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This study is testing a treatment that involves an injection to reduce nerve-related leg and back pain. It looks at how much information about the procedure affects a patient's outlook and pain relief.
This trial compares two types of injections—one standard anti-inflammatory drug and one simple sugar water solution—to see which works better for treating low back pain in an emergency setting. If you are an adult between 18 and 55 with isolated low back pain, this study may help find a more effective pain treatment.
This trial tests a treatment called prolotherapy, which uses injections of a sugar solution into specific acupuncture points to help relieve chronic low back pain. It is for people who have had low back pain for at least 3 months, have not had previous back surgery, and have not received similar injections recently.
