Education and exercise for hip osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 tests whether an exercise program plus education, along with a soft brace, helps improve symptoms and function in adults with knee osteoarthritis. It may help people who have knee pain by combining movement training with daily support.
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 trial tests if learning about chronic pain can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better. You'll join a program that teaches you about pain and how to manage it.
This study tests a prehabilitation program (exercises before surgery) for older adults waiting for a total hip replacement. The goal is to see if strengthening before surgery helps recovery afterward. It is for people with severe hip arthritis who are otherwise in good health.
