Ultrasound-Guided Treatment for Hip Pinching Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive needle treatment combined with exercise for hip pain caused by tissue tightness near the hip joint. The treatment uses ultrasound imaging to guide a small needle that delivers electrical energy to reduce scar-like tissue, plus physical therapy to improve hip function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Hip pain in the front/groin area that has lasted more than 3 months
- Pain level of 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale during specific hip movement tests
- Positive result on at least one standard hip flexion or rotation test
- Ultrasound imaging showing scar-like tissue near a hip tendon (iliopsoas)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial studies a categorized physical therapy approach for people with hip impingement and hip/groin pain that is not caused by arthritis. It may help by testing whether a structured PT plan improves pain and function for the right type of hip problem.
This study tests a new approach to treating long-lasting hip pain that combines psychology and exercise. It's designed for people whose hip pain is affected by worry or stress, and who aren't as physically active as they'd like to be.
This trial tests whether dry needling (inserting thin needles into muscle) can improve hip muscle function and reduce pain in people with chronic hip pain called greater trochanteric pain syndrome. If you have had pain on the side of your hip for more than 3 months, this study may help find a new treatment option.
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 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.
