Comparing two exercise programs for piriformis syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a home exercise program with a telerehabilitation program for people with piriformis syndrome. Researchers want to see which approach helps reduce pain and improve function better.

This study tests two different hands-on therapy techniques (reciprocal inhibition and post-facilitation muscle energy) along with standard physical therapy to see which works better for relieving piriformis syndrome—a condition that causes deep buttock pain. You may benefit if you have chronic hip/buttock pain and a shortened piriformis muscle.
This trial compares two hands-on therapy methods to see which one better relieves pain and tightness caused by piriformis syndrome, a condition where a deep muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve. It may help if you have buttock pain that gets worse when sitting or moving your hip.
This study compares two hands-on physical therapy methods to reduce pain from piriformis syndrome, a condition where a muscle in the buttock area pinches a nerve. You'll receive treatment and be asked which technique works better for your pain and movement.
This trial tests two hands-on treatments (Facilitated Positional Release and Manual Myofascial Release) to see which works better for women with piriformis syndrome. If you're a woman aged 25–50 with buttock or hip pain for at least 2 months, this study might help you find relief.
This study compares two hands-on treatments, Stecco-fascial manipulation and Rolfing, for people with piriformis syndrome—a condition that causes buttock pain. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving movement.
This study tests two different physical therapy techniques to relieve pain from piriformis syndrome, a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve. Participants will attend therapy sessions to see which approach helps more with pain and movement.
