Eccentric Biased Exercises Effect on Functional Outcomes in Iliopsoas Tendonitis

Pakistan44 participantsStarted 2025-01-10

Plain-language summary

Hip and pelvis injuries represent 2-5% of all injuries. Among these injuries, groin pain is the most common finding. The most common injuries in the hip, pelvis, and thigh area are musculotendinous, (eg, quadriceps strain, adductor tendinitis) and, less commonly, iliopsoas tendinitis). Iliopsoas tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon or area surrounding the tendon. Major causes of iliopsoas tendinitis are acute trauma and overuse resulting from repetitive hip flexion. Patients often present with anterior hip or groin pain of insidious onset. Initially, the patient may note pain after the onset of aggravating activity with resolution soon afterward. The hip may be held in slight flexion and external rotation to ease tension on the musculotendinous unit. The patient's gait may demonstrate a shortened stride length on the affected side and increased knee flexion in the heel strike and midstance phases.This study aims to determine effects of eccentric biased exercises on pain ,ROM and quality of life in patients with iliopsoas tendonitis. This Randomised controlled trial will be conducted at Riphah Rehab Training and Research Center in Lahore over time span of 9-month period. A sample size of 44 Participants age 20 to 55 meeting the inclusion criteria will be selected informed consent will be signed by the participants. Participants will be divided into two groups . Group A will be controlled group receiving the standard physical therapy. Group B will be experimental group which will receive eccentric biased exercises. Outcome measures will be pain measured by Numeric Pain Rating scale, Range of Motion will be assessed by universal goniometer and quality of Life will be measured by HAGOS Score. Inclusion criteria include patients within age group 20-55 both male, female and trangenders included who have pain in hip groin region Exclusion criteria Include patients with any sign of inflammation ,severe pain ,trauma and fracture are excluded. Data will be analyzed using IBMM SPSS 25.0

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
