Education and exercise for long-term hip or groin pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- You have hip and/or groin pain and were referred to orthopedics for it
- Your groin/hip pain has been going on for more than 3 months
- Your pain is triggered by the FADIR test (a specific exam that reproduces pain)
- Your pain seems mainly related to the hip/groin, not another condition like major arthritis, certain spine or sacroiliac problems, or an injury

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 trial tests a minimally invasive needle treatment combined with exercise for hip pain caused by tissue tightness near the hip joint. The treatment uses ultrasound imaging to guide a small needle that delivers electrical energy to reduce scar-like tissue, plus physical therapy to improve hip function.
This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
This trial compares a structured exercise and patient education program with standard care in people with hip dysplasia. It may help improve hip and groin pain and function, especially if you are not getting the usual surgery (periacetabular osteotomy, or PAO).
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 compares the effects of adding exercise to an education program for people with hip osteoarthritis. It aims to see if exercise improves pain, function, and hip joint health (measured by MRI) more than education alone.
