Exercise therapy vs. minimal control may reduce short-term pain in patients with hip OA
Br J Sports Med. 2016 Apr;50(8):458-6319 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) consisting of patients with clinically and/or radiographically diagnosed hip osteoarthritis (OA) were included in this meta-analysis and systematic review.

However, these analyses were limited by the number of trials included.
