Dry Needling for Low Back Pain Near the Hip Bone
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether inserting thin needles (dry needling) into the connective tissue around a specific spot on your hip bone can relieve chronic low back pain. If you have pain that is centered near that bone and has lasted for at least two weeks, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your low back pain is centered on the bony spot at the back of your hip (the posterior superior iliac spine) and has lasted at least two weeks.
- Your pain level is at least 3 out of 10 on a pain scale.
- You do not have nerve pain shooting down your leg or a recent back injury.
- You are not afraid of needles, not pregnant, not taking blood thinners, and have no serious health conditions like epilepsy or a weak immune system.

This study tests whether a needle-based treatment (dry needling) can help release tight ligaments around your sacroiliac joint—the joint where your spine meets your pelvis—and reduce pain. You'll be evaluated to see if your joint dysfunction can be safely treated with this approach.
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 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 trial tests whether dry needling (inserting thin needles into muscle) can improve hip muscle function and reduce pain in people with chronic hip pain called greater trochanteric pain syndrome. If you have had pain on the side of your hip for more than 3 months, this study may help find a new treatment option.
This trial tests if adding vibration to dry needling (a technique where thin needles are inserted into tight muscle spots) helps relieve low back pain more than dry needling alone. It is for people with ongoing low back pain that has lasted more than six weeks.
