This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a combination approach—using hyaluronic acid injections (a natural fluid that lubricates joints), high-power laser therapy, and physical rehabilitation—can help people with hip osteoarthritis feel better and move more easily. Half the participants will receive all three treatments together, while the other half will receive the injections and physical therapy, but a fake laser treatment instead of the real one. Researchers want to see which approach works best for improving hip function and reducing pain.
Hip osteoarthritis causes pain and stiffness that can limit daily activities, and current treatments don't work well for everyone. This trial is exploring whether combining three different approaches—working on the joint itself, stimulating healing with laser, and rebuilding strength through exercise—might be more effective than treating the joint alone.

You will visit the clinic for an initial assessment, then receive your assigned treatment (injections, laser or sham laser, and guided physical therapy exercises). Over the next 12 months, you'll return for follow-up visits at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, where researchers will measure your hip function, pain levels, quality of life, and how far you can walk in six minutes. The entire study commitment spans one year.
