Clinical Trial Summary

There is currently limited literature on a categorized physical therapy protocol for management of hip pain. Only a handful of studies have looked at the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip with a standardized physical therapy treatment, primarily looking at manual therapy versus exercise therapy protocols. However, there are no studies observing the effect of a standardized physical therapy program on patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain. Based on the gap in the literature, this study will aim to assess the effect of matrix-based standard of care therapy in patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	iHOT-12 (International Hip Outcome Tool-12)	iHOT-12 is used to assess quality of life in patients with hip disorders. Scores range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a better quality of life.	Up to 6 months
Secondary	NRS (numerical rating scale) pain	NRS pain will be used to assess pain. Scores range from 0-10, with 10 representing the worst pain imaginable.	Up to 6 months
Secondary	Home exercise completion	This will be defined as the number of times patients completed their home exercises during the previous week.	Up to 6 months
