Abstract

Background/Purpose: Evidence of the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid injection for hip osteoarthritis (OA) is limited and conflicting. The HIT trial compared the clinical effectiveness of an ultrasound-guided intra-articular hip injection (USGI) of triamcinolone acetonide and 1% lidocaine hydrochloride combined with best current treatment (BCT) with (i) BCT alone (primary objective) and (ii) an USGI of 1% lidocaine only combined with BCT (EudraCT: 2014–003412-37). BCT comprised advice and written information on exercise, weight loss, footwear, walking aids and pain management. This qualitative study investigated patient experiences of hip OA and impact of trial treatments.
