Back and glute exercises may ease pelvic pain, small trial hopes
NCT ID NCT07477717
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding latissimus dorsi (upper back) strengthening to standard gluteal exercises can better reduce pain and improve pelvic alignment in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Forty adults aged 35-55 with chronic low back pain from this condition will be split into two groups: one doing only gluteal exercises, the other adding upper back exercises. Over 6 weeks, researchers will measure pain, disability, and pelvic position changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise program (gluteal strengthening with or without latissimus dorsi strengthening)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective exercise approach for managing sacroiliac joint pain and improving daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise programs also depend on patient adherence and proper technique.
