Hip pathologies that cause pain and functional limitations are common in the general population. These can include femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears and mild osteoarthritis (OA) among others. While more severe and symptomatic cases may require surgical intervention, the treatment of mild-to-moderate cases is often treated without surgery to relieve pain, improve function, and delay surgical intervention. Non-operative treatments of hip pathologies consist of a multitude of options. A common non-operative intervention includes intra-articular injections, including corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid. Evidence has demonstrated that corticosteroids have fast acting effects which tend to diminish within a few months, while hyaluronic acid has a delayed time of onset and demonstrates clinical benefit for a longer period of time. Studies have evaluated combinations of corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid, hoping to take advantage of the fast-acting relief of corticosteroid and the longer lasting benefits of corticosteroid. Physiotherapy is also a frequent non-operative intervention used to relieve pain and increase function in patients with hip pathologies. While many studies have looked at intra-articular injections and physiotherapy as independent non-operative possibilities for hip conditions, the combined effect of these two have not received much evaluation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of physiotherapy in conjunction with a combined corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid intraarticular injection on patient outcomes when compared to a corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid intraarticular injection alone.

The purpose of this research is to see if the Arthrex LoopLocTM device is better for capsular closure during hip arthroscopy than other treatments available. The hip capsule is the tissue that surrounds your hip joint. It stabilizes and supports your hip joint. During hip arthroscopy, this tissue must be cut through in order to perform the hip arthroscopy. Once the hip arthroscopy is completed, the surgeon might repair the capsule. Current ways of repairing the capsule include knotted suture that might irritate structures around the hip, leading to the possible formation of scar tissue and pain. The Arthrex LoopLocTM device is knotless and may lower the presence of irritation and scar tissue around the hip after surgery and might lead to better outcomes. Therefore, researchers will compare patients who had the LoopLocTM device used to close their hip capsule during surgery to those who did not have the device used, to see if there is a difference in their outcomes following surgery.

Decision Tool for Arthritis

Durham, North Carolina
This study is an observational study to test and validate a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine patient preferences regarding treatment for any one of 11 musculoskeletal conditions: hip arthritis, knee arthritis, hip labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), osteochondritis dissecans, Achilles tendon rupture, patellofemoral dislocation, distal radius fracture, and fractures of the hip, ankle, tibia, and proximal humerus. This study aims to understand how multiple treatment variables, including pain, rehabilitation time, cost, and choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention, impact patients' decision-making processes and ultimate choice of treatment.

Sutures for Hip Arthroscopy

Columbia, Missouri
The study is to prospectively compare absorbable sutures with non-absorbable sutures used for capsular repair during hip arthroscopic procedures. Major outcomes will be measured using three questionnaires ((1) International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), (2) modified Harris hip score, (3) hip outcome score) in addition to the standard of care set of 9 questionnaires. The other major outcome will be any radiographic heterotrophic ossification at the 6-month follow-up time point.

An abnormally formed hip joint (cam deformity) is a major cause of osteoarthritis (OA). Individuals may not experience any symptoms until OA is severe due to extensive cartilage loss and changes in underlying bone. A series of studies showed that the cam deformity can lead to the development of OA if left untreated, thus strongly suggesting a causal relationship. Currently, the cam deformity that causes pain is surgically removed to relieve the pain and treat the associated cartilage damage. Recent studies have demonstrated that surgical treatment leads to bone and cartilage changes that were related to improved function and reduced pain.

Tears of the acetabular labrum appear to be common with the prevalence of asymptomatic tears in the general population approaching 66% and 70% based on cadaveric dissection and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. Despite this prevalence, there is no currently accepted justification for performing labral repair in an asymptomatic patient despite the many postulated biomechanical benefits that an intact labrum imparts to the hip joint. Representing a smaller proportion of all tears, symptomatic tears of the acetabular labrum present a therapeutic challenge. Current treatment modalities range from conservative measures to open surgical intervention. Conservative measures have typically included: activity modification, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy (PT), core strengthening and improvement of sensory motor control. In the past two decades, technological advances in the form of surgical instrumentation and traction devices have facilitated less invasive arthroscopic techniques to diagnose and treat hip problems and as such is now the preferred treatment modality for many orthopedic surgeons treating patients with hip pathology. Determining which patients, using age and arthritic burden as predictors, can benefit from labral repair is paramount for several reasons. Showing arthroscopic repair is of little or no benefit to a specific cohort can reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries performed, increase the use of conservative therapy (if validated) and reduce the interval between diagnosis and total hip replacement.

BMAC for Acetabular Labrum Tear

Boston, Massachusetts
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of PRP/PPP/BMAC application on functional outcomes after hip arthroscopy to address acetabular labral pathologies. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does PRP/PPP/BMAC application improve functional outcomes after hip arthroscopy to address acetabular labral pathologies? 2. Does PRP/PPP/BMAC application reduce the arthritic burden as measured by functional outcomes following hip arthroscopy to address labral pathologies with concomitant PRP/PPP/BMAC application?

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Femoroacetabular Impingement clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Femoroacetabular Impingement clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Femoroacetabular Impingement trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Femoroacetabular Impingement is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Femoroacetabular Impingement medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Femoroacetabular Impingement clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Hyaluronic + Corticosteroid Injections and Physical Therapy for Hip Issues, Knotless Implants for Femoroacetabular Impingement and Sutures for Hip Arthroscopy to the Power online platform.
