A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of non-weight bearing walking on patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) and accompanying joint pain. Initially, participants will undergo conservative treatment for one year, and if joint pain persists, they will then engage in non-weight bearing walking for the second year. The study aims to assess whether these interventions can prevent the progression of radiographic OA by detecting bone signal changes through MRI. The focus is on understanding the relationship between joint pain and bone alterations in hip OA.
