Dry needling for sacroiliac joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment called 'dry needling' (using thin needles to release tight tissue) can help relieve pain from sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, a condition that causes lower back and hip pain. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, this treatment might offer a non-surgical way to reduce discomfort and improve movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 treatment called dry needling, where very thin needles are inserted into sensitive muscle areas to relieve low back pain. It is designed for people whose pain is focused on a specific bone area in the lower back, and it aims to see if this needle therapy helps reduce pain and improve function.
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.
