ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different treatment methods for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD), which can cause pain in the lower back and buttocks. The trial will compare the effects of Local Muscle Vibration and Muscle Energy Technique to see which one helps reduce pain, improve the ability to perform daily activities, and affect the position of the pelvic bones.

To participate, you need to be between 20 and 40 years old and experiencing significant pain in the area around your sacroiliac joint. You should have a pain level of at least 3 on a scale of 0 to 10, and specific tests must show that you have SIJD. However, if you have certain conditions like neurological issues, specific types of arthritis, or have recently had surgery on your lower body, you won’t be eligible to join. If you decide to participate, you can expect to try one of the treatment techniques and help researchers understand which one works better for people like you.
