Needle treatment for hip tendon pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that use ultrasound to guide a needle to treat gluteal tendinosis, a condition that causes pain in the tendons of the buttock area. Both procedures aim to stimulate healing and reduce pain, and the study will see if one works better than the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gluteal tendinosis, which is a condition causing pain in the tendons of your buttock muscles, confirmed by an ultrasound or MRI.
- You’ve tried non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or medication for at least 3 months, but your pain hasn’t improved.
- Your symptoms have lasted more than 3 months.
- You do not have a full-thickness tear in the affected tendon (the tendon is not completely torn through).
- You haven’t had a corticosteroid injection into the affected tendon in the last 3 months.

This study tests two types of a needle-based treatment (percutaneous electrolysis) for shoulder tendon pain. It aims to see if a single-filament or multi-filament approach works better for people with chronic supraspinatus tendon issues.
This study tests whether exercise and patient education can help people with long-term lateral hip pain (pain on the outside of the hip). If you've had hip pain for over 6 months and an MRI confirms the cause, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether TENEX (a minimally invasive procedure) can reduce hip pain caused by greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). It is for people who have tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 months without enough relief, and who have confirmed GTPS on imaging (MRI or CT).
This study compares different ways doctors usually treat hip pain on the side of the hip (greater trochanteric pain syndrome). It aims to see which approach works best and may help you find the right treatment.
This study compares two treatments for buttock pain that gets worse when you sit. One is a type of hands-on therapy, the other adds sound wave therapy. The goal is to see which helps reduce pain and improve movement.
This study tests whether a targeted injection, done with ultrasound guidance, can safely reduce buttock pain caused by piriformis syndrome—a condition where a muscle in the buttock presses on a nerve. If you've had buttock pain that sometimes travels down your leg, this treatment might help ease the discomfort.
