Exercise therapy vs. minimal control may reduce short-term pain in patients with hip OA .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effects of exercise and manual therapy on pain associated with hip osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Br J Sports Med. 2016 Apr;50(8):458-6319 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) consisting of patients with clinically and/or radiographically diagnosed hip osteoarthritis (OA) were included in this meta-analysis and systematic review. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of water or land-based exercises, and/or manual therapy to determine its treatment effects on pain reduction. Findings indicated that exercise therapy may be more effective than minimal control over the short-term. While evidence evaluating these treatments over the medium and long term found no benefit of these treatments compared to minimal control. However, these analyses were limited by the number of trials included.
