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 studies whether a modular implant used to fuse the sacroiliac (SI) joint helps people with long-lasting SI joint pain. It may be an option if your pain comes from SI joint damage and you didn’t improve with physical therapy and pain medicines.
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 a new titanium implant designed to stabilize and reduce pain in the sacroiliac joint (the joint where your lower spine connects to your pelvis). If you have chronic lower back pain from sacroiliac joint problems that hasn't improved with physical therapy or other non-surgical treatments, this trial may help determine if surgery with this implant is right for you.
This study looks at how satisfied people are after getting the TransLoc 3D SI Joint Fusion System. It is a registry study, meaning it simply collects information from patients who already have the device to see how well it works for them.
This trial tests whether combining a steroid injection with shockwave therapy can better relieve lower back pain caused by the sacroiliac joint. If you have had low back pain for at least 3 months and a previous diagnostic injection helped, you may be a good candidate.
