Can breathing exercises help during joint injections?
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.

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.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation patch (TENS) can help reduce pain during a back injection procedure for chronic low back pain caused by posterior joint problems. The goal is to make the injection more comfortable for patients.
This trial tests whether breathing muscle training can reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. You will do simple breathing exercises at home to see if they help your knee feel better.
This study looks at whether using a thinner needle or a numbing spray (ethyl chloride) reduces pain during a steroid knee injection. It may help people with knee osteoarthritis who need injections feel more comfortable.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during a steroid joint injection helps children feel less pain and anxiety. If it works, it could make the procedure easier for patients from 5 to 17 years old.
This study tests if an injection made from amniotic fluid can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. The goal is to give a long-lasting alternative to steroid or gel shots.
