Needle therapy could speed relief for common hip pain condition

This pilot study tests whether a new technique called ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation can speed up recovery for people with chronic hip pain (GTPS). The treatment uses a tiny needle to stimulate a nerve near the hip, aiming to reduce pain and improve function faster than standard therapies like shockwave therapy and exercises. Fifty adults with long-lasting hip pain will receive either the new nerve treatment plus standard care, or standard care alone, and be followed for several months.
