Sacroplasty for sacral insufficiency fractures
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called sacroplasty, which injects bone cement into a broken sacrum (the base of the spine) to relieve pain from a fracture caused by low-energy injury. It may help reduce pain and improve function for people with recent fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years old or older
- You must have a broken sacrum or posterior pelvic bone from a low-energy injury (like a minor fall) confirmed by a CT scan
- Your pain must have started within the last 6 weeks and be ongoing for at least 48 hours
- You must be able to have the procedure done with local anesthetic (and possibly sedation)
- You must give informed consent

This study compares two surgical methods for fixing unstable fractures of the sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine). It aims to see if a less invasive approach works as well as traditional open surgery, potentially leading to faster recovery and fewer complications.
This study compares two surgical methods for treating pelvic fractures in older adults caused by low-energy events like falls. It aims to see if one approach leads to better recovery, helping guide future treatment decisions.
This trial tests a device called the Neurolyser XR to treat chronic low back pain caused by inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. It may help if you've had pain for over a year and other treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests if a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into a fractured spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure. It is for people with painful spine fractures caused by osteoporosis (weak bones) that started within the last three months.
This trial studies a minimally invasive procedure to treat very severe, unstable compression fractures in the spine caused by osteoporosis. It may help people who have trouble tolerating standard open spine surgery, by aiming to restore stability and alignment.
This trial tests a new treatment called Neurolyser XR for sacroiliac joint pain (pain in the lower back and buttocks area). It is for people who have already had significant pain relief from a nerve block or nerve ablation, and it aims to provide longer-lasting pain relief.
