NCT ID NCT07723014

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two physiotherapy techniques—Stecco fascial manipulation and muscle energy technique—for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and pelvic pain. Researchers will measure changes in pain sensitivity, range of motion, and daily disability. The goal is to see which approach offers better relief and guides treatment choices.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Stecco fascial manipulation and muscle energy technique
What this could lead to
If one technique proves more effective, it could give physiotherapists a clearer, evidence-based choice for treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both techniques are manual therapies, and individual responses can vary.
