About this study

Official title: Effects of a Stretching Protocol of Hip Flexors in Patients With Mild to Moderate Hip Osteoarthritis

Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent chronic disease in the world. Clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological conservative treatments for the management of OA. Hip flexors seems to play an important role in the development of hip OA but there is no published studies evaluating the results of a stretching protocol of hip flexors in hip OA patients.

The objective of this trial is to evaluate if a stretching protocol of hip flexors is more effective in symptoms, functional capacity , range of motion, strength, muscular length, pain threshold and anxiety and depression compared to control.

For this purpose the investigators conduct a single-group, pretest-posttest clinical trial.The investigators included patients diagnosed of hip osteoarthritis Grade I-III by Scale of Kellgren and Lawrence.

The variables are measured at the beginning and at the end of treatment of the control phase, and at the end of the stretching protocol phase.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes from baseline in pain intensity

    Visual Analogic Scale

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Functional Capacity

    The investigators measure the functional capacity with Timed Up and Go test (TUG)

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. WOMAC questionnaire

    WOMAC questionnaire

    Measured: 3 weeks

  3. Hip Range of Motion

    Digital inclinometer according to Pua et al., 2008

    The investigators measure the muscular length with an inclinometer

    Measured: 3 weeks

  6. Pressure Pain threshold

    Pressure algometry measured by digital algometer

    Measured: 3 weeks

  7. Anxiety and Depression

    Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hip flexors stretching protocol in people with Hip Osteoarthritis, run by Universidad de Zaragoza at 2 sites in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Spain. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes from baseline in pain intensity (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 21 Jan 2020.
