Study Summary

This trial evaluates if a new physiotherapist-led care model for hip & knee pain can help people & health systems in Canada.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who want to see a primary care provider because of hip or knee pain. They must be able to understand, read, and write English. People with cancer or neurodegenerative diseases causing the pain, or those with post-arthroplasty (joint replacement) pain cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new way of treating hip and knee pain where physiotherapists lead the care instead of doctors. It's set up as a pilot test in Canada where groups are randomly chosen to either try this new model or stick with the usual doctor-led approach.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-drug interventions like changes in how care is provided, typical medication side effects aren't expected. However, there might be risks associated with different physical therapy techniques used.

Active Control

Group I: Physiotherapist-led primary care model for hip and knee painExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The index intervention will incorporate a PT within the primary care team and make them available at the first point of contact for people with hip or knee pain. There will be 4 key components of this intervention: 1) Initial assessment and screening; 2) Brief individualized intervention at first visit; 3) Health services navigation; 4) Providing additional PT care for people with an unmet need (e.g., no insurance coverage for PT).

Group II: Usual physician-led primary care model for hip and knee painActive Control1 Intervention

Participants will be seen by a primary care physician or a nurse practitioner, depending on the current practice at the clinic. Participants in both groups will be permitted to seek additional care outside of the primary care clinic.
