Comparison of Ultrasound-guided Intraarticular Hip Injections With and Without Prior Local Anesthesia

In this single-center randomized controlled trial, subjects undergoing a first-time ultrasound-guided unilateral intraarticular hip injection will be randomized into one of two groups: hip injection with prior local anesthesia (With LA) or hip injection without prior local anesthesia (Without LA). Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores (0-100) will be collected after the local anesthesia injection (With LA group) and intraarticular hip injection (both groups). The primary outcome measure for comparison between the two groups will be VAS score for the intraarticular hip injection.

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

patients undergoing a first-time ultrasound-guided unilateral intraarticular hip injection
Subjects must be fluent in English
Subject must be able to consent for themselves and mark pain levels on a visual analog scale.

Exclusion criteria

previous intraarticular hip injection (to remove bias from prior injection experiences)
prior surgery on the hip to be injected
use of opioid medication on the day of or day before the procedure
diabetes mellitus
body mass index (BMI) greater than 40

Treatment and study plan

Ultrasound guided injection

Procedure

All intraarticular hip injections will be performed under real-time ultrasound guidance using a GE LOGIQ P9 ultrasound machine with a C1-5-RS 1-5 MHz curvilinear transducer (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). For the procedure, patients will be placed in a supine position. The curvilinear transducer and ultrasound machine will be used to visualize the anterior aspect of the hip joint in a sagittal oblique plane. Sterile technique will be used to perform the procedure.

Primary outcomes

mean pain score

Time frame: baseline

A visual analog pain score will be collected. The scale of the score is 0-100 with 100 indicating more pain.
