Recruiting

• Conditions: Athletic Pubalgia; Osteitis Pubis
• Interventions: Other: High force lateral distraction; Other: Placebo distraction group

• Registration Number: NCT05716204
• Lead Sponsor: University of Valladolid

Brief Summary

Athletic osteitis pubis is a pathologic entity that can cause functional impairment. Scientific evidence have noticed that athletes experiment pain and a decrease on strength. Moreover, this symptomathology can affect daily life and functionality. There is no scientific evidence about the influence of manual therapy (MT) as a single treatment to improve this condition. The investigators decided to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of a MT technique with placebo technique.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
High force lateral distraction group	High force lateral distraction	High force lateral distraction of the hip in maximun adjusted position.
Placebo distraction group	Placebo distraction group	Placebo lateral distraction of the affected hip in maximun adjusted position.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Strength	3 months follow-up	Strength evaluate for internal and external hip rotators with a conical pulley.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain intensity during/after pain provocation tests: Single adductor, squeeze and bilateral adductor tests	Baseline	Appearance of pain during or after the execution of Single adductor, squeeze and bilateral adductor tests. If pain appears it will be reported by the patient using visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 10, in which higher scores are worse.
Functional capacity	3 months follow-up	Evaluated with a patient reported outcome questionnaire called Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome score (HAGOS) which assesses pain, symptoms, physical function in daily living, physical function in sport and recreation, participation in physical activities and hip and groin -related quality of life. For each item answer range from "never" to "always".
Pain in sports activities	3 months follow-up	Appearance time of pain during activities
Pain intensity after pain provocation tests: Single adductor, squeeze and bilateral adductor tests	3 months follow-up	Appearance of pain during or after the execution of Single adductor, squeeze and bilateral adductor tests. If pain appears it will be reported by the patient using visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 10, in which higher scores are worse.
