Comparison Between Transarterial Musculoskeletal Embolization and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection for the Treatment of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of lateral hip pain that can significantly affect daily activities and quality of life. Standard treatments include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and local injections, but many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms.
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare two minimally invasive treatment options for GTPS: transarterial musculoskeletal embolization (TAME) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TAME or PRP.
The main goal of the study is to evaluate which treatment is more effective in reducing pain. Secondary goals include comparing functional improvement, quality of life, and safety between the two treatments. Pain and functional outcomes will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment.
This study seeks to provide evidence on the effectiveness and safety of TAME compared with PRP injection for patients with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.
