Sacroplasty for pain from sacral fractures
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a procedure called sacroplasty (injecting bone cement into a broken sacrum) can safely reduce pain in people with sacral insufficiency fractures. If you have a low-energy fracture of the sacrum or back of the pelvis and have had pain for less than 6 weeks, this study may be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 50 or older
- A broken sacrum or back of the pelvis caused by a low-energy event (like a fall from standing height) confirmed on CT or MRI
- Pain lasting less than 6 weeks and present for at least 48 hours
- Able to have the procedure done with local anesthetic and optional sedation
- Provide informed consent or have a consultee agree on your behalf

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two surgical methods—traditional open surgery versus minimally invasive surgery—for treating serious sacral fractures (breaks in the lowest bone of the spine). Researchers want to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial tests if a standard injection or a newer treatment called pulsed radiofrequency works better for long-term pain in the sacroiliac joint. It may help if you have had this pain for at least 6 months and medications haven't helped enough.
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 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 a nerve-ablation device (Neurolyser XR) for people with long-lasting sacroiliac joint pain—pain in the lower back where the spine connects to the pelvis. You may qualify if you've had good results (over 70% pain relief) from a previous similar procedure or injection in the past 6 months and still have moderate pain.
This trial compares two physical therapy approaches for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (pain in the lower back or pelvis). It aims to see which approach better improves function and reduces pain.
