Kinetic Control Exercises to Reduce Pain and Improve Balance, Walking, and Stamina in Sacroiliac Joint Issues
Pakistan46 participantsStarted 2025-08-17
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kinetic control on pain, endurance, Gait and postural stability in patients suffering from chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
The main question it aims to answer is:
* Does kinetic control training work on pain in SIJ dysfunction?
* Does kinetic control therapy work on functional outcomes, including gait metrics, postural sway, and lumbar endurance?
The treatment arm will receive the Kinetic control training, and the comparison arm will undergo standard physical therapy care. Participants will be asked to perform movement control exercises based on the principle of kinetic control training core muscles and hip muscles after routine physical therapy. The participants in the control/comparison group will only receive routine physical therapy that includes a heating pad, TENS, joint mobilizations, and stretching and strengthening exercises.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Symptoms of sacroiliac joint dysfunction lasting more than 2 months
* Male and female participants aged 20-60 years
* Positive lumbopelvic motor control tests
* Pain intensity of ≥4 on a 0-10 Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
* Positive results in three or more of the following provocative tests: FABER test, Distraction test, Thigh Thrust test, Gaenslen test, or Sacral Thrust test
* Diagnosis consistent with International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) criteria, indicating pain localized to the sacroiliac joint region (hips/groins or radiating to the lower extremity)
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of malignancy
* Neurological disease affecting the central nervous system (e.g., multiple sclerosis, dementia)
* Rheumatic disease (e.g., fibromyalgia, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis)

* Spinal surgery within the last 12 months
* Pregnancy
* Signs or symptoms of lumbar nerve root pathology identified during neurological examination
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
