Manual therapy with or without spine manipulation for pelvic pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) works better alone or combined with spine manipulation for women with pain near the lower back and pelvis. If you have this type of pain, the trial may help you access treatment while researchers learn what works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 25 and 40 years old
- Your pain started 4 to 12 weeks ago and is located near your lower back/buttock area (PSIS region)
- You have moderate pain level (moderate, not mild or severe)
- Clinical tests show signs of pelvic alignment issues or movement problems
- You do not have systemic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or pregnancy
- You have no history of spine surgery, severe disc problems, bleeding disorders, or recent muscle injury

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at different physical therapy treatments for people with chronic, non-specific low back pain and a forward-tilted pelvis (anterior pelvic tilt). It aims to find which type of exercise or therapy works best to improve posture and reduce pain.
This study compares two types of manual therapy for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction—a condition that causes pain in the lower back, pelvis, or buttock. You may be eligible if you have had pain for more than 2 weeks and tests show problems with your pelvis.
This trial tests if combining muscle energy therapy with spinal mobilization can relieve pain and correct misalignment in people with a twisted pelvic bone (sacral torsion). It may help reduce pain and improve mobility.
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 trial tests a manual therapy technique called sustained natural apophyseal glides (gentle, sustained pressure on the spine) in people with low back pain caused by lower cross syndrome—a pattern where hip flexors and lower back muscles are tight while abs and buttock muscles are weak. If you have lower back pain with a forward-tilted pelvis and meet the age and muscle tightness/weakness criteria, this study may be for you.
This study looks at how people feel about spinal manipulation therapy for long-term low back pain. It's for adults who have had pain in their lower back for more than three months and want to share their views on this type of treatment.
