Combination therapy for hip osteoarthritis pain and function
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
