ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different treatment techniques for patients who have sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a condition that causes pain in the lower back and hips. The study aims to compare "posterior innominate mobilization" and "muscle energy technique" to see which one is more effective in improving the angles of the hips and pelvis and reducing pain levels. They want to find out if one method works better than the other for helping people feel better and move more comfortably.

To participate in this study, individuals should be between 25 and 45 years old, have a normal weight (not too underweight or overweight), and experience pain in the lower back or groin area. They should also have a certain level of pain and positive results from specific tests that check for sacroiliac joint issues. However, some people won't be eligible, such as those with certain medical conditions, a recent history of lower body surgeries, or those who are pregnant. Participants in the trial can expect to receive one of the two treatments and will be monitored for changes in their pain and movement.
