HIPS Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the feasibility of two dose- and time-matched pain management programs, delivered via live video, for adults with chronic (lasting at least 3 months) and non-arthritic hip-related pain (HRP). Following pre-determined benchmarks, findings from this trial will be used to assess the feasibility, credibility, and acceptability of both programs (HIPS-1, HIPS-2). In preparation for a future clinical trial powered to test efficacy, we will optimize the protocol for patient recruitment, study protocol, and fidelity materials.
