The sacrotuberous ligament stabilises the sacroiliac joint by limiting sacral nutation and supporting posterior pelvic structures. The sacroiliac joint connects the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity and integrates with muscles like the gluteus maximus and biceps femoris. Tightness, dysfunction, or pain in the sacrotuberous ligament can exacerbate sacroiliac joint dysfunction by altering mechanics. Dry needling is increasingly used for myofascial pain and muscle dysfunction. Applying dry needling to release ligamentous structures is novel and may improve the biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint by alleviating tension in the sacrotuberous ligament. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of dry needling for releasing the sacrotuberous ligament in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunctions on pain intensity, functional disability, and biomechanical changes, along with routine physical therapy compared to sham dry needling and routine physical therapy.",[27],"Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction",[29,30,31,32],"Sacroiliac joint dysfunction","dry needling","physical therapy","sacrotuberous ligament","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-04-19",{"date":36,"type":37},"2026-04-24","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":21},"2026-04",{"date":41,"type":21},"2026-11",{"name":43,"class":44},"University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Science","OTHER",1,{"id":47,"slug":48,"hasResults":11,"nctId":49,"briefTitle":50,"officialTitle":51,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":52,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":53,"maxAge":54,"enrollmentInfo":55,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":57,"briefSummary":58,"conditions":59,"keywords":62,"overallStatus":33,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":66,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":67,"startDateStruct":69,"completionDateStruct":71,"leadSponsor":73,"locationsCount":4},"100619534","connective-tissue-dry-needling-for-low-back-pain-related-to-local-posterior-superior-iliac-spine-pain-100619534","NCT07345871","Connective Tissue Dry Needling for Low Back Pain Related to Local Posterior Superior Iliac Spine Pain","Investigating the Effectiveness of Connective Tissue Dry Needling Technique on Patients With Low Back Pain Caused by Local Pain at Superior Posterior Iliac Spine: a Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion criteria:\n\n1.

Forty participants with local PSIS-related low back pain will be recruited and randomly assigned into two groups using the block balanced randomization method. The treatment group will receive CTDN targeting connective tissue trigger points around the PSIS in addition to a sacroiliac joint stabilization exercise program, while the control group will perform the same exercise program alone under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The intervention protocol will span two weeks, during which participants will attend three treatment sessions per week, for a total of six sessions. The primary outcome measurement will use the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to assess pain intensity. The study will measure secondary outcomes through lumbar range of motion (ROM) in flexion and extension and pressure pain threshold (PPT), and Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) functional disability and Short Form-36 (SF-36) health-related quality of life. The researchers will assess all outcomes at three time points: baseline and after the first session, and the sixth session, while VAS will receive an additional assessment at the 3-month follow-up. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence supporting CTDN as a safe, effective, and cost-efficient treatment option for PSIS-related mechanical low back pain.",[60,27,61],"Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP)","Mechanical Low Back Pain",[61,27,63,64,65],"Connective Tissue Disorders","Dry Needling","Fascia \u002F Fascial Manipulation","2026-01-18",{"date":68,"type":37},"2026-01-21",{"date":70,"type":21},"2026-04-10",{"date":72,"type":21},"2026-09-01",{"name":43,"class":44},""]
