Comparing two treatments for sacroiliac joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a standard injection or a newer treatment called pulsed radiofrequency works better for long-term pain in the sacroiliac joint. It may help if you have had this pain for at least 6 months and medications haven't helped enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pain in your sacroiliac joint (where your lower spine meets your pelvis).
- You had a test injection that reduced your pain by at least half.
- You have tried other treatments (like medications or physical therapy) that didn't work well.
- Your pain has lasted 6 months or longer and is rated as more than 5 out of 10 on a pain scale.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 35.

This study compares two imaging-guided methods for giving steroid injections to the sacroiliac joint, which may help reduce pain and inflammation. It aims to see which method is more effective and safe.
This trial tests a device called the Neurolyser XR to treat chronic low back pain caused by inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. It may help if you've had pain for over a year and other treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests a nerve-ablation device (Neurolyser XR) for people with long-lasting sacroiliac joint pain—pain in the lower back where the spine connects to the pelvis. You may qualify if you've had good results (over 70% pain relief) from a previous similar procedure or injection in the past 6 months and still have moderate pain.
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 study tests whether a special ultrasound-guided injection into the sacroiliac joint (a small joint in the lower back) can provide better pain relief for people with long-lasting pain in that area. If you have had this pain for at least 3 months and standard treatments haven't worked well, this trial may offer a new option.
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (a procedure that uses heat to quiet pain signals) for long-lasting sacroiliac joint pain. If you join, you may receive either the traditional method or the cooled method, with the goal of finding which works better.
