Physical therapy for hip and groin pain without arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies a categorized physical therapy approach for people with hip impingement and hip/groin pain that is not caused by arthritis. It may help by testing whether a structured PT plan improves pain and function for the right type of hip problem.

This study tests a new approach to treating long-lasting hip pain that combines psychology and exercise. It's designed for people whose hip pain is affected by worry or stress, and who aren't as physically active as they'd like to be.
This study compares two exercise programs—one focusing on specific groin-strengthening exercises (Holmich protocol) and the other on joint mobilization—to see which is better at reducing pain, improving balance and leg function, and helping you get back to soccer. You'll be in one of the two groups and will do the exercises over several weeks.
This study tests new ways to help people with lateral hip pain (pain on the outer side of the hip) stay motivated and consistent with their exercise program. The goal is to understand what helps patients do their exercises regularly so they can feel better.
This trial studies whether TENEX (a minimally invasive procedure) can reduce hip pain caused by greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). It is for people who have tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 months without enough relief, and who have confirmed GTPS on imaging (MRI or CT).
This trial tests whether a program of education plus exercise can reduce long-term hip or groin pain. It may help by improving movement and function, especially when pain has lasted more than 3 months.
This study compares different ways doctors usually treat hip pain on the side of the hip (greater trochanteric pain syndrome). It aims to see which approach works best and may help you find the right treatment.
