Clinical Trial Summary

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), is characterised by pain around the greater trochanter. Failure of first-line management for GTPS is followed by second-line treatments range from extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), corticosteroid or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and surgery. In a systematic reviews, PRP seems a viable effective and safe alternative option for GTPS after failed physical therapy. Also, positive results from previous systematic reviews involving radial ESWT (rESWT) as a treatment for GTPS. In the literature review, there is no comparison of the effectiveness of ESWT and PRP injection in patients with GTPS. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rESWT and PRP injection on pain, hip disability, and quality of life in patients with GTPS


Clinical Trial Description

The pain and activities of daily living, referring to the previous week, and assessments of hip function (limping) and range of motion were evaluted by Harris Hip Score (HHS). The pain severity during rest and activity in the previous week was evaluted by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The pain and activity limitation was evaluted by The Roles and maudsley (RM). The quality of life was evaluted by The EQ-5D-3L scale. ;
