Trial Comparing Two Live-Video Pain Management Programs for Adults with Long-Lasting Hip Pain

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the feasibility of two live video-based pain management programs for adults with chronic hip-related pain that is not caused by arthritis. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare two interventions, HIPS-1 and HIPS-2, focusing on feasibility, credibility, and acceptability. The study will help optimize recruitment, protocols, and materials in preparation for a future trial testing efficacy. Both programs include six weekly 30-minute sessions delivered by trained physical therapists via live video. HIPS-1 is a mind-body intervention teaching relaxation, coping skills, and pain education, while HIPS-2 focuses on healthy lifestyle education including physical activity, sleep, and nutrition. Participants in both groups also continue their usual prescribed physical therapy and complete weekly check-in surveys. Sessions are audio-recorded for quality checks. Participants complete a baseline digital survey before randomization, followed by six intervention sessions over about six weeks. Additional assessments occur immediately after the program and at a six-month follow-up. Researchers will monitor participant satisfaction, program completion rates, symptom changes, and adverse events. Various pain and physical function questionnaires are collected throughout the study to evaluate outcomes and intervention fidelity.
