Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy vs Percutaneous Ultrasonic Needle Tenotomy for Gluteal Tendinosis
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registered a new clinical study (NCT07540806) comparing two tenotomy techniques for gluteal tendinosis: standard percutaneous needle tenotomy (PNT) versus percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT) using the Tenex device. The study's primary endpoints are pain improvement and functional outcomes. This is an informational database entry; no regulatory obligations or compliance requirements are created.

NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registered a new clinical study (NCT07540806) comparing standard percutaneous needle tenotomy (PNT) against percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT) for treating gluteal tendinosis. The study aims to measure pain improvement and functional outcomes between the two interventions. This is a database registration entry only; it does not create regulatory obligations, impose compliance requirements, or change existing policy. Compliance readers may note the study's intervention details (Tenex device) for awareness if their institutions are involved in similar procedural research.

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy (PNT) vs Percutaneous Ultrasonic Needle Tenotomy (PUT) for Gluteal Tendinosis
N/A NCT07540806 Kind: NA Apr 20, 2026
Abstract
The goal of this study is to determine if a newer tenotomy technique utilizing an ultrasound needle is more effective than the traditional tenotomy technique utilizing a simple hypodermic needle for gluteal tendinosis. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is pain from the gluteal tendinosis improved with either technique, and, if so, is there a difference in the improvement between techniques?
- Is there an improvement in function for gluteal tendinosis, and, if so, is there a difference between techniques?
Conditions: Tendinopathy, Tendinosis, Gluteal Tendinitis
Interventions: Percutaneous needle tenotomy (PNT), Percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (PUT, Tenex Device)
