Comparing two treatments for hip pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a new artery-blocking procedure works better than platelet-rich plasma shots for people with chronic hip pain (greater trochanteric pain syndrome) who haven't improved with physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Pain on the outside of your hip that's been confirmed by a doctor using an exam or imaging
- Your hip pain has lasted for at least 3 months and hasn't gotten better with treatments like physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medicine
- You are willing to get either an artery-blocking procedure or a platelet-rich plasma shot
- You can come back for checkups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment

This trial tests if injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from your own blood, can reduce pain and improve knee function in people with advanced knee osteoarthritis. PRP may help repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation.
This study compares two types of hip injections—platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and corticosteroids—to see which works better for hip osteoarthritis pain. It may help you if you are considering an injection for your hip pain.
This study compares two types of PRP (platelet-rich plasma)—with white blood cells or without—for pain from one-sided hip osteoarthritis. It may help you see which injection type works better and is safe for improving hip symptoms.
This trial tests an “autologous” regenerative cell treatment, meaning cells taken from you, to reduce hip osteoarthritis pain and inflammation. It checks safety first and looks for improvements in how you feel and move.
This trial tests whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shot works better than a standard hyaluronic acid (“gel”) injection to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain. It may help people with ongoing knee pain choose the treatment that relieves symptoms more effectively.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) can reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. It focuses on people with specific types of knee pain and X-ray findings, and compares against rules around current pain medicines and injections.
