Cryotherapy vs. radiofrequency for sacroiliac joint pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
