Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2013 Oct;21(10):1494-503118 patients who have unilateral hip pain due to osteoarthritis participated in this study to determine the efficacy of patient education and manual therapy. Patients were randomized into one of 3 groups: (1) a patient education group, (2) a manual therapy + patient education group, or (3) a minimal control group wherein patients were advised to complete stretches at home. Assessments were completed immediately following treatment at 6 weeks and at 3 and 12 months. Patients who underwent patient education as well as manual therapy experienced the greatest benefits in pain relief, enhanced function and perceived improvement.
