Feasibility of Home Exercises With the Addition of a Corticosteroid Injection in Patients With Lateral Hip Pain in General Practice

Summary

Pain on the lateral side of the hip is a common condition in general practice, however there is limited evidence on how to best manage the condition. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a combined treatment before comparing this treatment in a larger clinical trial. For the present study 20 patients with lateral hip pain will be invited to receive a corticosteroid injection in the lateral hip prior to performing our exercise program for 8 weeks. After 4 weeks we will do a short interview to get feedback on the exercise program. After 8 weeks we will evaluate the acceptability of the combined treament.
