First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a self-management program led by a physiotherapist can reduce pain and improve function in people with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (chronic hip pain). 110 adults aged 18-70 with hip pain for over 3 months will be randomly assigned to either the self-management program or usual care. The program includes education, goal-setting, and activity planning over 3-5 sessions, with follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- self-management program (education and exercise with a physiotherapist)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer an effective, low-cost way to manage chronic hip pain without surgery or injections.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with 110 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The self-management program may not be better than usual care.
