Dry needling for low back pain near the pelvic bone
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called dry needling, where very thin needles are inserted into sensitive muscle areas to relieve low back pain. It is designed for people whose pain is focused on a specific bone area in the lower back, and it aims to see if this needle therapy helps reduce pain and improve function.

This study tests whether a treatment called dry needling (using thin needles on muscle knots) helps people with long-term low back pain tied to muscle tightness. It is for those who have not tried this treatment before and whose main pain is in the lower back.
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 tests whether dry needling (thin needles placed into specific muscles) can reduce moderate, long-lasting lower back pain. It focuses on people who have pain from trigger points in a specific back muscle, rather than pain caused by other medical problems.
This study tests a type of dry needling (inserting thin needles into muscles) to see if it helps people with and without chronic low back pain. You may join if you have no recent low back pain or if you have had low back pain for at least 3 months, as long as you have not had major back surgery or certain treatments.
This study tests whether combining dry needling (thin needles inserted into muscle knots) with vibration therapy can reduce low back pain from trigger points. It aims to help people who have had non-specific low back pain for over six weeks and are between 35 and 65 years old.
This trial tests how accurate 'blind' dry needling is in the lower back muscles. Dry needling uses thin needles to release muscle knots and may help reduce pain.
