Randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of two techniques against chronic hip pain: radiofrequency over sensitive nerves of the hip, compared injection of steroids and local anestethic into the hip.

Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of two techniques against chronic hip pain: cooled radiofrequency over sensitive nerves of the hip, compared to intraarticular injection of steroids and local anestethic under fluoroscopic guidance on the hip. - Randomized trial: radiofrequency versus intraarticular local anesthestic and steroids.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1- Patient over 18 years old. 2- Chronic hip pain (more than 3 months) that has not responded to conservative treatment, pharmacological therapy, physiotherapy or TENS). 3- Mechanical pain in the affected limb with a VAS of at least 50 mm during ambulation. 4- Patients for whom it is possible to carry out all the scheduled visits of the study, with the capacity to attend within the established deadlines for the control visits. 5- Greater than 50% improvement in the VAS scale after the two anesthetic blocks performed with local anesthetics of different duration (levobupivacaine 0.25% and mepivacaine 2%) 6- Moderate to severe osteoarthrosis determined with degrees Kellgren-Lawrence II, III, IV. 7- Stable doses of analgesics at least 30 days before starting the study. 8- Patients who have performed the Oxford Hip Score and WOMAC test 3 months or less before the study. 9- Absence of allergy or adverse events known to any of the medications administered: local anesthetics of amide group and iodinated contrasts. 10-Negative pregnancy test (women of childbearing age) and commitment to guarantee contraception during the study Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 20 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 20

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1- Signs of alarm or infection in the joint affects. 2- Signs of active infection, immunosuppression or active HIV. 3- Severe psychiatric illnesses. 4-Patient carrier of hip prosthesis. 5- Pain added to an unexplained weight loss of more than 5% 90 days or less before the start of the study. 6- Pain of root origin established in the affected limb, or neurodegenerative diseases of the peripheral nervous system. 7- Patients with basic tumor pathology or who have had cancer in the five years prior to inclusion. 8- Alterations of the coagulation or taking of anticoagulants / antiaggregants (except aspirin 150 or 300 mg / day) at the beginning of the study, which can not be suspended for basic pathology during a prudent interval for the realization of the technique. 9- Patient who has participated in a clinical study for the previous 30 days in which interventions are performed that may affect the results of the study. 10- Patient with a diagnosis of disorder due to substance abuse or alcoholism. 11- Patient who is in process for the award of a disability or degree of disability. 12- Pregnant or lactating patient. 13- Patient under treatment with opioids with doses greater than the equivalent to 90 milligrams of oral morphine / day.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of two techniques against chronic hip pain: cooled radiofrequency over sensitive nerves of the hip, compared to intraarticular injection of steroids and local anestethic under fluoroscopic guidance on the hip.;Secondary Objective: 638/5000 - To compare the improvement of the functional capacity of patients subjected to radiofrequency cooled compared to those treated by intra-articular injection of local anesthetic and corticosteroid measured by the WOMAC and Oxford Hip score scales. -Compare the duration of the clinical improvement in terms of pain reduction quantified by the VAS scale (visual analog scale) a year after the application of both techniques. - To compare the improvement of the quality of life of patients subjected to cooled radiofrequency compared to those treated by intra-articular injection of local anesthetic and corticosteroid as measured by the SF 36 scale.;Primary end point(s): a)-Improvement more than 50% in VAS score in patients under treatment with Intraarticular injection or cooled radiofrequency b)-Duration of the clinical effect in terms of pain reduction (quantified by a 50% reduction in the VAS scale with respect to the baseline level) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: a)-3 months b)-6 months

Secondary
