Comparing Nerve-Freezing Procedures for Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve-freezing procedures (cryoneurolysis and radiofrequency ablation) for long-term sacroiliac joint pain. Researchers want to see which method provides better relief for people whose pain hasn't gone away with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- Your main pain should be in your buttock or lower back (below the waist), possibly on one or both sides, and it should have lasted at least 3 months.
- Your pain should be moderate to severe (between 4 and 9 on a 0–10 scale) and make daily activities harder (like walking or sitting) by at least 30%.
- You must have had at least one numbing injection into the sacroiliac joint that gave you at least 50% relief while it worked.
- You should have already tried other treatments (like physical therapy, chiropractic care, or medications) for at least 3 months without enough improvement.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (a procedure that uses heat to quiet pain signals) for long-lasting sacroiliac joint pain. If you join, you may receive either the traditional method or the cooled method, with the goal of finding which works better.
This trial tests if a standard injection or a newer treatment called pulsed radiofrequency works better for long-term pain in the sacroiliac joint. It may help if you have had this pain for at least 6 months and medications haven't helped enough.
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 compares two procedures to treat long-term low back pain from the small joints in your spine. One uses extreme cold, the other uses heat to stop pain signals. It may help if you have had at least three months of back pain and other treatments haven't worked.
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 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.
