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.
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 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 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 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.
This study compares two types of steroid medication used in injections for sacroiliac joint pain. It aims to see if one type works better than the other, helping patients with low back or buttocks pain find relief.
