The HIP Self-management Study
Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
Summary
The HIPS-study will be an observer blinded, single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). The main purpose of the study is: 1. To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a self- management program versus usual care for patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). * H0: There is no difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. * H1: There is a difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. 2. To investigate if self-management is more cost-effective than usual care in the treatment of patients with GTPS. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: 1) self-management program or 2) usual care. Follow-up will be at 3-, 6- and 12-months.

Self-management
Patients will have 3-5 sessions with a physiotherapist that include individually tailored education, and address physical, cognitive, and behavioral factors deemed as relevant according to the participant's concerns and challenges. Important aspects in this are: problem-solving, decision-making, resource utilization, therapeutic alliance and taking action (The 5 core skills of self-management). SMART goals and an activity plan between sessions will be used as an exposure to maintain, change, or create health behavior. Participants will have access to study material, including exercise alternatives and a podcast.
Usual care
Usual care at the department consists of general information about the condition and advice on pain management and exercise. For further treatment, patients are referred to primary care. Participation in the study will not affect how this is conducted.
