New implant aims to fuse painful pelvic joint
NCT ID NCT05870488
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a device called iFuse TORQ, which is surgically implanted to fuse the sacroiliac joint—a common source of lower back and buttock pain. The trial includes 110 adults who have had pain for at least 6 months and haven't found relief from non-surgical treatments. Researchers will measure changes in pain and disability over time to see if the implant helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- iFuse TORQ implant (a medical device used to fuse the sacroiliac joint)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a surgical option for people with long-term sacroiliac joint pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm study without a comparison group, so results may be less reliable. The implant is a surgical procedure, which carries risks like infection or nerve damage.
