NCT ID NCT07486674
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two procedures—cryoablation (freezing nerves) and endoscopic denervation (cutting nerves)—to treat chronic sacroiliac joint pain. 51 adults with confirmed pain from the joint were included. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and improves daily function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cryoablation and endoscopic denervation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective, longer-lasting option for people with chronic sacroiliac joint pain who haven't found relief from other treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures are invasive and carry risks like infection or nerve damage.
