Hip and groin injury study for competitive athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how common hip and groin injuries are in competitive athletes, and tests a non-surgical treatment approach for those with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a hip condition that can cause pain during sport. It aims to find better ways to manage this condition and help you stay active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a competitive athlete (training for and competing in a sport).
- You are between 14 and 40 years old.
- You have not had a major hip, groin, knee, or ankle injury in the past 6 months that kept you out for over a month.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant (because of X-ray exposure).
- You are willing to undergo a hip exam and X-rays, and be found to have femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with no significant arthritis.

This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
This study follows people before and after hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement (a condition where the hip bones pinch together). It measures strength, mobility, and daily function to see how recovery progresses over 6 months.
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.
This study measures how your hip moves (the “mechanics”) using clinical exams and imaging. It may help researchers understand hip movement problems in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) before major joint damage develops.
This study looks at how doctors make decisions about treating hip impingement (FAIS) in young adults. If you join, you'll be part of a study that may help improve care for others with similar hip problems.
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.
