New gel shot for hip pain: could it replace surgery?
NCT ID NCT07232199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a gel called Sensovisc, made of sodium hyaluronate, injected into the hip joint to relieve pain from osteoarthritis. The gel aims to restore the joint's natural fluid, reducing pain and improving movement. Researchers will track 25 adults with moderate hip arthritis over 6 months to see if the gel safely eases pain during rest, activity, and sleep.
