102 patients with hip osteoarthritis were randomized to either an active or sham physical therapy program. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a multimodal physical therapy program. Patients performed 10 supervised sessions over 13 weeks under a physical therapist, and were to continue with home regimens for 6 months afterwards. The results demonstrated improvement in pain and function within both groups, although no significant differences between them. Of note, adverse events, although mild in severity, were more frequent in patients allocated to the active physical therapy program.
