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 study compares two types of guided injections for sacroiliac joint pain: one into the joint and one around it. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief for people with long-lasting pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study compares two types of steroid medication used in injections for sacroiliac joint pain. It aims to see if one type works better than the other, helping patients with low back or buttocks pain find relief.
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 tests whether a treatment called 'dry needling' (using thin needles to release tight tissue) can help relieve pain from sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, a condition that causes lower back and hip pain. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, this treatment might offer a non-surgical way to reduce discomfort and improve movement.
This study compares two types of hands-on therapy to see which works better for sacroiliac joint pain. You may get either treatment, and both aim to reduce pain and improve movement.
