NCT ID NCT07558278
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new device called the LINQ system, which is implanted through a small incision to fuse the sacroiliac joint. It compares the procedure to standard non-surgical treatments like medication and physical therapy. The trial will enroll 200 adults with chronic sacroiliac joint pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. The main goal is to see if the device provides better pain relief and safety over six months.
