New combo therapy aims to ease stubborn pelvic pain
NCT ID NCT07529093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two physical therapy methods for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of low back and pelvic pain. One group gets standard kinetic control training alone, while the other adds Mulligan's mobilization with movement. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, walking patterns, and disability in 55 adults aged 45-64.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement and kinetic control training
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a more effective physical therapy approach for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, reducing pain and improving daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 55 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatments are non-invasive but may not outperform standard therapy.
