Shockwave therapy vs standard rehab for hip pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments—shockwave therapy and conventional physical therapy—for long-lasting pain on the outside of the hip, often called trochanteric pain syndrome. It aims to find which option works better for people whose hip pain has persisted for months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a high-intensity laser treatment to reduce hip pain and improve function in people with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (pain on the outside of the hip). It may help if you've had hip pain for at least 3 months and haven't had recent injections or other conservative treatments.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid injection to a home exercise program helps people with long-term pain on the outside of the hip. It aims to find a better way to manage your pain and improve daily function.
This trial tests if adding focused shock wave therapy to standard rehab can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft. It may help reduce pain and speed up healing.
This study tests whether adding a special sound wave therapy (called ESWT) to standard care (like exercise and education) can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with long-term low back pain. It is designed for people whose back pain does not have a specific known cause.
This trial tests if shock wave treatment can reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people with moderate knee arthritis who haven't had recent physical therapy or joint injections.
This study tests whether a noninvasive treatment called shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and improve function in people with patellar tendinitis, a common overuse injury of the knee tendon. It may be a good option for you if you have moderate knee pain and are otherwise healthy.
