The objectives of treatment in hip osteoarthritis are pain relief, improve joint range of motion and muscle force, gait rehabilitation, patient education and socio-professional reintegration.The non-pharmacological and non-surgical methods include certain types of physical therapy: massage, heat, ultrasound, laser, shockwave therapy. Among them, shockwave therapy is not a new treatment method, and seems to be effective in rotator cuff pathology, tennis elbow, and also on knee osteoarthritis, but few studies have been conducted so far for outcome measurement in symptomatic hip osteoarthritis.

Control groupActive comparatorUltrasound therapy on the affected hip, for 10 days, 1 application daily
Receives: Device: Ultrasound

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 10 days and 30 days

    10mm to 100mm, higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: at baseline, after 10 days, after 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change from baseline Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score at 10 days and 30 days

    24-item questionnaire for osteoarthritis, higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: at baseline, after 10 days, after 30 days
