Strengthening back and buttock muscles for sacroiliac pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether strengthening the latissimus dorsi (back) and gluteal (buttock) muscles can reduce pain and disability in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It may help if you have chronic low back pain related to this joint and are not receiving other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with low back pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

This study compares two physical therapy techniques—core muscle training and muscle energy techniques—to see which works better for lower back pain coming from the sacroiliac joint. It may help if your pain is on one side of your lower back or buttock and has lasted at least three months.
This study looks at how body weight (BMI) affects a hip muscle (gluteus maximus) in people with sacroiliac joint pain. If you have mild to moderate pain in the lower back/buttock area and are between 20–40 years old, this trial may help understand how your muscle works.
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 trial tests whether a combination of hands-on joint mobilization techniques and specific movement control exercises can reduce pain and improve function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (pain in the lower back/buttock area where the spine connects to the pelvis). You would receive these treatments over several weeks and be measured on pain relief, movement, walking, and daily activities.
This study tests whether pelvic floor exercises combined with muscle energy techniques can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It may help if you have long-lasting pain on one side of your lower back or buttocks.
This study compares two types of exercises—core stability exercises versus hip-strengthening exercises—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving function in people with long-term sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It may help you find a targeted treatment for your chronic pelvic or low back pain.
