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 different types of injections for sacroiliac (SI) joint pain—one is a common anti-inflammatory (ketorolac) and the other is a steroid. It aims to see which one helps more and is safer for people with long-lasting SI joint pain.
This study compares two imaging-guided methods for giving steroid injections to the sacroiliac joint, which may help reduce pain and inflammation. It aims to see which method is more effective and safe.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound-guided injection into the sacroiliac joint (a small joint in the lower back) can provide better pain relief for people with long-lasting pain in that area. If you have had this pain for at least 3 months and standard treatments haven't worked well, this trial may offer a new option.
