Testing TENEX for hip pain from greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 18 and 90 years old

- Have tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 months and still have symptoms
- Be able to understand and sign consent forms by yourself
- Not use a wheelchair or have major mobility limitations

This study tests an experimental treatment that targets nerves around the hip to relieve pain on the outside of the hip. It may help people who have tried other treatments without enough relief.
This study tests whether exercise and patient education can help people with long-term lateral hip pain (pain on the outside of the hip). If you've had hip pain for over 6 months and an MRI confirms the cause, you may be able to join.
This study tests a high-intensity laser treatment to reduce hip pain and improve function in people with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (pain on the outside of the hip). It may help if you've had hip pain for at least 3 months and haven't had recent injections or other conservative treatments.
This trial compares two treatments—shockwave therapy and conventional physical therapy—for long-lasting pain on the outside of the hip, often called trochanteric pain syndrome. It aims to find which option works better for people whose hip pain has persisted for months.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid injection to a home exercise program helps people with long-term pain on the outside of the hip. It aims to find a better way to manage your pain and improve daily function.
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.
