Comparing shock wave, laser, and cold therapy for sacroiliitis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares three different treatments (shock wave therapy, laser therapy, and cold therapy) for people with sacroiliitis, a condition that causes pain in the lower back, buttocks, or hips. The goal is to see which treatment works best for reducing pain and improving movement.

This trial tests whether combining a steroid injection with shockwave therapy can relieve sacroiliac joint pain. It may help people with chronic back pain that comes from the sacroiliac joint.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for chronic pain in the sacroiliac joint, which is where your pelvis meets the lower spine. If you've already tried other treatments without enough relief, you might be a candidate for one of these procedures.
This study compares two treatments for sacroiliac joint pain: a hands-on physical therapy technique versus a steroid injection. The goal is to see which one reduces your pain and improves daily function better.
This trial tests a device called the Neurolyser XR to treat chronic low back pain caused by inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. It may help if you've had pain for over a year and other treatments haven't worked.
This study tests whether two different hands-on treatments can reduce pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and buttock pain. One treatment focuses on correcting a pelvic twist, while the other targets a specific joint movement. The goal is to see which works better.
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.
