Brief Summary

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. Few studies have been conducted so far for outcome measurement in symptomatic hip osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control group	Ultrasound	Ultrasound therapy on the affected hip, for 10 days, 1 application daily
Treatment group	Shock Wave Therapy	Shock Wave therapy on the affected hip, for 10 days, 1 application every 2 days

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
change from baseline Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 10 days and 30 days	at baseline, after 10 days, after 30 days	10mm to 100mm, higher scores mean a worse outcome

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
change from baseline Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score at 10 days and 30 days	at baseline, after 10 days, after 30 days	24-item questionnaire for osteoarthritis, higher scores mean a worse outcome
