Comparing two manual therapy techniques for sacroiliac joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of manual therapy for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction—a condition that causes pain in the lower back, pelvis, or buttock. You may be eligible if you have had pain for more than 2 weeks and tests show problems with your pelvis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
