Summary

This study compares two types of exercise—core stability moves and cognitive movement control training—added to standard physical therapy for people with sacroiliac joint pain. Researchers want to see which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function. The study will involve 36 adults aged 18 to 45 with chronic pain in the lower back or buttock area.
