Study Summary

This trial is testing whether bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is more effective than Triamcinolone in reducing pain and improving function in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 18-65 with hip osteoarthritis, who have had physical therapy but no recent corticosteroid injections or active autoimmune diseases. Participants must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or have a history of certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid dysfunction.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) versus Triamcinolone in reducing pain and improving function in hip osteoarthritis patients. It measures outcomes through patient-reported scores and performance on a walking test over 12 months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the injection site, infection risk from needle insertion, allergic reactions to components used during the procedure, and general risks associated with bone marrow aspiration.
