PROCEDURE

ultrasound-guided injections of hyaluronic acid plus high-power laser therapy

Received two ultrasound-guided injections of hyaluronic acid into the coxo-femoral joint, 10 sessions of physical therapy specifically targeting hip OA (5 sessions/week for two weeks) lasting 45 minutes, and 10 sessions of active high-power laser therapy using a diode laser.

PROCEDURE

"ultrasound-guided injections of hyaluronic acid plus sham high-power laser therapy"

"Received two ultrasound-guided injections of hyaluronic acid into the coxo-femoral joint, 10 sessions of physical therapy specifically targeting hip OA (5 sessions/week for two weeks) lasting 45 minutes, and 10 sessions of sham high-power laser therapy using a diode laser, due to the presence of a light pointer and an acoustic signal of the device, which made it impossible to distinguish the active treatment from the sim-ulated one."
