Efficiency of Shock-wave Therapy in Symptomatic Hip Osteoarthritis

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.

About this study

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.

Treatment and study plan

Shock Wave Therapy

Device

Shock Wave therapy - hip osteoarthritis program

Ultrasound

Device

Ultrasound 0.7W/cm2

Primary outcomes

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

    Time frame: at baseline, after 10 days, after 30 days

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

Secondary outcomes

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

    Time frame: at baseline, after 10 days, after 30 days

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