Dry Needling Treatment for Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a needle-based treatment (dry needling) can help release tight ligaments around your sacroiliac joint—the joint where your spine meets your pelvis—and reduce pain. You'll be evaluated to see if your joint dysfunction can be safely treated with this approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (pain or instability in the joint where your lower spine connects to your pelvis)
- You are between 40 and 65 years old
- Your doctor has confirmed your diagnosis using specific clinical tests (Fortin finger test and Patrick's test) and imaging like MRI or X-ray
- You have not had previous spine or sacroiliac joint surgery
- You do not have osteoporosis, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or other serious spine or metabolic conditions
- You are not currently pregnant, within 6 months after giving birth, or have piriformis syndrome or nerve pain radiating down your leg

This study compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques to reduce lower back pain, improve walking, and restore function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (a condition affecting the joint connecting your spine to your pelvis). You'll receive treatment and be assessed to see which technique works better.
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 compares two hands-on treatments for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and hip pain. It aims to see which approach better reduces pain, improves movement, and helps with daily activities.
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.
This study tests whether inserting thin needles (dry needling) into the connective tissue around a specific spot on your hip bone can relieve chronic low back pain. If you have pain that is centered near that bone and has lasted for at least two weeks, you may be able to join.
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.
