Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 45-64 with unilateral nonspecific SIJ pain for more than two months, confirmed by provocative tests, and a moderate baseline pain level (4-6).
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with recent pelvic/lumbo-sacral surgery, pregnancy, certain rheumatic diseases, or prior SIJ manual therapy within three months may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This interventional study examines the effects of a combined manual therapy and motor control program on pain, range of motion, gait, and functional disability in adults with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants receive Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement along with Kinetic Control training to address joint mechanics and lumbopelvic motor control. Eligibility includes adults aged 45-64 with unilateral, non-radiating SIJ pain persisting more than two months and a pain score of 4-6. The study uses established provocative tests to confirm SIJD diagnosis and excludes recent surgeries, pregnancy, certain musculoskeletal or systemic conditions, and prior SIJ manual therapy within the last three months. Locations are Ali Hospital and the Physiotherapy Center in Lahore, Pakistan, with the Lahore University of Biological and Applied Sciences as lead sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced pain and improved mobility and function related to the sacroiliac joint.
How similar studies have gone: Previous manual therapy and motor control approaches for SIJD have shown mixed results; combining methods is a logical step to improve outcomes but remains somewhat novel for this indication.
