Effect of conservative treatment on greater trochanteric pain syndrome: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Numerous studies have investigated conservative treatments for GTPS. However, there remains a lack of comparative analyses among treatment modalities, making it challenging to formulate the optimal conservative treatment strategy. This study aimed to compare conservative treatments for greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) in terms of their effectiveness in relieving pain and improving functional outcomes.
