NCT07510763
This study aims to evaluate muscle thickness in patients with unilateral Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome using ultrasonography and to compare these findings with healthy individuals. The primary objective is to determine whether piriformis muscle thickness differs between patients and controls. Secondary objectives include assessing gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscle thickness, side-to-side differences in piriformis and gluteal muscle thickness, and the presence of Deep Gluteal Syndrome.
NCT07243327
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) with conventional physical therapy in patients with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). GTPS is a common cause of lateral hip pain, often related to gluteal tendinopathy rather than trochanteric bursitis. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: ESWT or conventional physical therapy (TENS, hot pack, ultrasound). Pain (VAS), hip function (Harris Hip Score), lower limb function (LEFS), and global improvement will be evaluated at baseline, week 3, and week 12. The purpose of this study is to determine which treatment provides greater pain relief and functional improvement.
NCT04707274
The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment for Gluteal Tendinopathy (VISA-G) Questionnaire.
NCT06456099
We have developed an exercise protocol that we plan to evaluate in a future randomized controlled trial in combination with a corticosteroid injection. In accordance with the MRC Framework of Complex Interventions, which reccomends stepwise development of interventions and testing of feasibility before applying them to a trial, we aim to evaluate the feasibility of our intervention before initiating further trials. The purpose of this non-randomized feasibility study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of this exercise protocol with addition of a corticosteroid injection with no aim of evaluating effects. All participants in this study will receive the following interventions: * An ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection superficial to the insertion of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons on the greater trochanter of the hip. * A home exercise program including 3 exercises, scalable to 3 different difficulty levels. * A patient information leaflet containing relevant information on managing lateral hip pain.
NCT05076994
Patients presenting to an musculoskeletal (MSK) outpatient clinic who fit the study inclusion criteria (low back pain, outer hip pain) will be randomized to receive an exercise prescription with patient education alone, or in clinic patient education and access to the Patient Education Tool (Series of videos). Weekly surveys will be done via email to assess patient adherence: the main outcome. Two follow-up in-clinic visits at weeks 6 and 12 will assess pain, function and exercise self-efficacy: the secondary outcomes. Comparisons will be made between the group of the patients who received the videos and those who did not.
NCT02031367
The object of this study is to compare the effect of PRP versus Corticosteroid injection on pain in patients with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome up to 12 months after treatment. It is believed that PRP will be as good as corticosteroids for short term pain relief, and will produce longer lasting pain reduction.
