TRAQ Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgical procedure called TRAQ to treat chronic sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain—a type of lower back and buttock pain. The procedure may help if you've had pain for at least 6 months that didn't improve with non-surgical treatments and have already benefited from diagnostic joint injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 21 or older with BMI (body mass index) of 40 or less
- Chronic low back or buttock pain for at least 6 months that hasn't responded well to non-surgical treatment
- Clinical diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction confirmed by physical exam tests and positive response to two diagnostic joint injections
- Moderate to severe pain and disability (pain score ≥60/100 and ODI disability score ≥30%)
- At least one steroid injection in the sacroiliac joint within the past 12 months
- Willingness to undergo the TRAQ procedure as determined by your doctor and to complete all study visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a new procedure called LINQ—which stabilizes the sacroiliac joint (the joint where your spine connects to your pelvis)—against standard pain management for chronic sacroiliac joint pain. The trial tests whether this procedure reduces pain and disability better than medications and physical therapy alone.
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 trial tests a new titanium implant placed in the sacroiliac joint to fuse it, which may help reduce chronic lower back pain caused by sacroiliac joint problems. It's a surgical treatment for people who haven't found relief from other treatments.
This study compares two types of guided injections for sacroiliac joint pain: one into the joint and one around it. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief for people with long-lasting pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This trial tests whether combining a steroid injection with shockwave therapy can relieve sacroiliac joint pain. It may help people with chronic back pain that comes from the sacroiliac joint.
This study compares two types of hands-on therapy (a gentle side-lying adjustment vs. a lower back roll) to see which works better for long-lasting low back pain caused by the sacroiliac joint. If you have ongoing pain and are open to physical treatments, this trial may help find the best approach.
