Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goals of our research project are to study the relationship, if any, between the success of a TB injection (measured by pain relief and general patient satisfaction) and the method in which it was placed. Because fluoroscopy places patients requires a slight risk from radiation exposure and increased cost versus blind injection, it is important to know if there is an advantage to using this technique. The investigators will randomize 64 patients to receive either trochanteric bursa injections with corticosteroid and local anesthetic guided by fluoroscopy, or trochanteric bursa patients to receive trochanteric bursa injections based on landmarks on palpation. The investigators will then determine which method is superior, and whether injecting steroid and local anesthetic into the bursa itself is superior or inferior to injecting it into a tender area outside the bursa.
