Filter by:The HIPS-study will be an observer blinded, single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). The main purpose of the study is: 1. To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a self- management program versus usual care for patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). - H0: There is no difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. - H1: There is a difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. 2. To investigate if self-management is more cost-effective than usual care in the treatment of patients with GTPS. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: 1) self-management program or 2) usual care. Follow-up will be at 3-, 6- and 12-months.
Introduction: Greater Trochanter Pain Syndrome (GTPS) includes a number of disorders involving the lateral hip region, including bursitis, gluteal lacerations, and trigger points in the contractile tissue crossing the hip. As an alternative resource for pain relief, dry needling, known as Dry Needling (DN) is a technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of soft tissue injuries and neuromyofascial pain, with positive effects on musculoskeletal conditions. Objective: to compare the administration of ND and laser therapy on the effectiveness of reducing lateral hip pain and improving function in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 30 women, aged between 35 and 60, randomized into 2 groups: GND group (n=15) and GLT group (n=15). Participants will complete the sample characterization questionnaire, the numerical pain scale and the VISA Tendinopathy Questionnaire for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (VISA-G). Subsequently, they will be submitted to evaluation through functional tests sit and stand 30 seconds, Timed up and go test. After the evaluation, they will be submitted to the treatment. The GDN will receive treatment using the technique by a physiotherapist with specific training in NP. The application will be through the deep technique, in the regions of trigger points of muscles of the posterolateral region of the hip with duration of application from 30 to 60 seconds per point, 8 points of application will be standardized, in the region of muscles of the posterolateral region. hip side. The GLT will receive the Laser application by a physiotherapist specialized in traumato-orthopedics. The equipment will be the Infrared Laser (wavelength 904 nm), by punctual technique. Eight application points will be standardized in the muscles region of the posterolateral region of the hip.
Although the middle gluteal muscle is an important stabilizer of the pelvis, no relationship has yet been described between the Great Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) and the resistance of the core muscles. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a core resistance program on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 36 postmenopausal women with clinical diagnosis of GTPS, who will be randomized into 2 groups: group 1 (hip exercises) and group 2 (hip + core exercises). The treatment protocol will be performed twice a week, for 4 weeks. The same evaluation will be done in 3 moments (in the pre-treatment period, after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the end of treatment, as a follow up), and will consist of the following analyzes: quality of life (Hip Outcome Score - HOS questionnaire), GTPS severity (VISA-G questionnaire), muscle activation (electromyography - EMG), dynamic postural control (force platform - CoP), muscle strength (load cell), core resistance (supine bridge test and prone bridge test) and pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale). Expected results: It is intended to establish the effect of a resistance program of core muscles on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with SDGT.
Gluteal tendinopathy, a degenerative condition of the gluteal tendons, is a common cause of lateral hip pain. It is three times more common in women, affecting up to 25% of those aged over 40 years. Research evidence supporting the most effective interventions remains limited. A 2018 landmark three-arm RCT (LEAP trial) in Australia compared EDucation on load management plus eXercise (EDX) against corticosteroid injection (CSI), and a 'wait-and see' control on pain and global improvement in 205 individuals with gluteal tendinopathy (Mellor et al, 2016; 2018). Results showed superior and significant positive effects in the EDX group, compared with CSI and wait-and-see groups at 8 weeks and 1 year. A total of 14 EDX sessions was provided over 8 weeks in LEAP, but in the public healthcare system in Ireland, typically 5-6 physiotherapy treatments are provided. Therefore, whilst the LEAP trial demonstrated positive effects for EDX, implementation into clinical practice in Ireland is questionable as 6 or less treatment sessions are typically provided in public and private settings in Ireland (French et al, 2020). This two-arm feasibility RCT aims to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a future RCT of a reduced dose (6 sessions) of a recently proven efficacious physiotherapy treatment of EDucation plus eXercise (EDX-Ireland) to usual care for gluteal tendinopathy in an Irish setting. A Study Within A Trial will evaluate if exercise adherence is improved with use of a smartphone app compared with paper-based diaries.
Between the large trochanter and the muscles adhering to it, trochanteric bursa and several other bursa may be found. Trochanteric bursitis can be alone or together with tendinitis of other bursa and adhering muscles. The first is called trochanteric bursitis, the second is called hip periarthritis, which is difficult to distinguish clinically. It is more common in women of middle age. The main complaint is the large trochanter and pain on the side of the thigh. Pain is aggregated by walking abduction and external rotation by walking, lying down with hip movements. The palpation is sensitive to the top of the large trochanter. There may also be tenderness in the muscles in the lateral of the thigh. On plain radiographs, slight irregularities or peritrocanteric calcifications can be seen in the large trochanter. Bone scintigraphy shows local increased involvement. In differential diagnosis, stress fractures, local infection and bone and soft tissue tumors should be considered. Rest is recommended in treatment. Activities such as running, standing for a long time are prohibited. Ice application can be given in the acute period. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (SOAI) drugs, analgesics, TENS can be used for pain relief. In cases where conventional treatments are insufficient, that is, the patient's pain is still continuing and functional recovery is inadequate, some alternative methods are also applied. These treatments include ozone, prolotherapy injection applications, dry needling, acupuncture, hirudotherapy, phytotherapy, mesotherapy, balneotherapy, kinesiobanding, etc. d. In our study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of ozone injection in patients diagnosed with trochanteric bursitis and to compare steroid injection with the application of ozone therapy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of both a single percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy or a single injection of LR-PRP in gluteal tendinopathy. Effectiveness will be demonstrated in a superiority trial design by comparing improvement in pain and function after a single percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy versus a single injection of LR-PRP in refractory gluteal tendinopathy that has failed conservative management. The investigators hypothesize that both procedures will show improvement to pain and function from baseline to 24 weeks and improvement will remain at 48 weeks follow-up. The investigators propose to test this hypothesis with a series of randomized cases of gluteal tendinopathy treated with one of the proposed treatment arms and evaluate at specified intervals with validated clinical outcome measures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of FX006 in bursal injections and to assess the patient's impression to change in their chronic pain, following treatment.
