Ultrasound reveals muscle differences in hip pain patients
NCT ID NCT07510763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study used ultrasound to measure the thickness of certain hip muscles in 60 adults with hip pain on one side (Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome) and compared them to healthy people. The goal was to see if muscle thickness differs between the groups and to check for related conditions like Deep Gluteal Syndrome. The study did not test any treatments, only observed and measured.
