Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 30 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Control Arm Group - Medical Students who fit the inclusion criteria and are between ages of 18-30. FAI Comparison Group - Participants will be recruited from Young Adult Hip Clinic, meeting the defined inclusion criteria and also being between the ages of 18-30.

Who may be able to join

  • Males and Females.
  • Aged 18-30.
  • Control group - Normal range of movement and no evidence of femoro-acetabular impingement on clinical examination (negative impingement test, no symptoms).
  • Participants with femoro-acetabular impingement as diagnosed clinically and on radiological imaging for the comparison group (MRI).

Who cannot join

  • Patients under the age of 18.
  • Patients over the age of 30.
  • Control group - evidence of underlying pathology affecting the hip, abnormal range of motion, evidence of femoro-acetabular impingement on clinical examination.
  • Previous surgery of the hip joints.
  • Medical history of arthritis (including rheumatoid and reactive).
  • Family history of femoro-acetabular impingement (control arm participants).
  • Patients who are currently experiencing or have experienced hip pain in the previous 1 year (control arm).
  • Other conditions (e.g. neurological, muscular dystrophy etc) which may affect hip muscle strength.

Control Arm GroupParticipants aged 18-30, Male and Female (10 participants each). Control group must have normal range of movement and no evidence of femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) on clinical examination (negative impingement test, no symptoms). Other exclusions for Control Group include previous surgery to hip joint/s, history of arthritis, family history of FAI, patients who have had symptoms of hip pain in the preceding 1 year or may have other conditions which may affect the hip joint or hip muscle strength including neurological conditions or muscular dystrophy.
FAI Arm Comparison GroupParticipants aged 18-30, Male and Female (10 participants each). Participants with femoro-acetabular impingement as diagnosed clinically and on radiological imaging for the comparison group (MRI).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Femoro-acetabular Impingement, run by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Vikas Khanduja, MA, FRCS (Orth) (01223 257093, vk279@cam.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Muscle Strength on Dynamometer (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Mar 2016.
