Hip injection plus physical therapy for mild hip problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of a steroid and lubricant injection into the hip joint plus physical therapy to treat mild hip arthritis or related issues like a labral tear. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and improve function without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- You have mild hip arthritis or related conditions like a labral tear, hip impingement, or mild hip dysplasia.

- You can pay for private physical therapy sessions out of pocket.
- You have not had hip surgery or a hip fracture before.
- You have not received a hyaluronic acid injection in your hip before.

This study tests a gel made of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) injected into the hip joint to reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with moderate hip osteoarthritis who have had hip pain for more than 3 months.
This trial tests whether one injection of hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps lubricate joints, can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are looking for a non-surgical option, this study might be a good fit.
This trial compares a “bone marrow aspirate concentrate” injection with a corticosteroid (steroid) injection to reduce pain from hip osteoarthritis. It aims to see which treatment works better over time for hip pain and function.
This study compares two ways to treat a torn labrum in the hip: one group gets standard hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), and the other gets the same surgery plus an injection of your own bone marrow cells to help healing. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function.
This trial tests if combining ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections with laser therapy and rehabilitation can improve hip function and reduce pain in people with hip osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have moderate hip pain and are not currently taking anti-inflammatory medications.
This study tests a new treatment called TG-C, which is an injection into the hip joint designed to help repair early cartilage damage and reduce pain. If you have early osteoarthritis in your hip and are looking for a non-surgical option, this might be a chance to try an experimental therapy.
