Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Electrolysis for Hip Impingement (NCT07548034)
Summary
This document registers clinical trial NCT07548034, which will evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis combined with a therapeutic exercise program compared to exercise alone for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. The five-week study will assess outcomes including pain intensity, hip mobility, and hip function. Participants will be divided into two groups receiving either the combined intervention or exercise alone.
“This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis, a minimally invasive physiotherapy technique, when combined with a therapeutic exercise program.”
About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
This document registers a clinical trial (NCT07548034) evaluating ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis combined with therapeutic exercise versus therapeutic exercise alone for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. The five-week study will measure pain intensity, hip mobility, and hip function as primary outcomes. Clinical investigators researching hip impingement or invasive physiotherapy techniques should monitor this trial for emerging evidence on treatment effectiveness.

Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Electrolysis With Therapeutic Exercise in Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
N/A NCT07548034 Kind: NA Apr 23, 2026
Abstract
Hip pain is a common condition that can affect both athletes and the general population. One of the most frequent causes of pain in the front of the hip is a condition known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This occurs when there is an abnormal contact between the bones of the hip joint, which may lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. In many cases, this pain is also related to surrounding soft tissues, especially the iliopsoas muscle and tendon, which play an important role in hip movement.
Although surgery is sometimes used to treat this condition, many patients can benefit from conservative (non-surgical) treatment such as physiotherapy. However, there is still limited evidence on the effectiveness of certain advanced physiotherapy techniques, particularly invasive approaches.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis, a minimally invasive physiotherapy technique, when combined with a therapeutic exercise program. This technique involves the application of a small electrical current through a fine needle to targeted soft tissues, with the goal of reducing pain and improving tissue function.
Participants in this study will be divided into two groups. One group will receive both percutaneous electrolysis and a structured exercise program, while the other group will perform the exercise program alone. The study will last five weeks, and outcomes such as pain intensity, hip mobility, and hip function will ...
