| Study setting(s) | Not specified |
| Study type | Treatment |
| Scientific title | |
| Study acronym | LIES |
| Study objectives | Athletes with longstanding groin pain recover faster and more completely if they are treated with specific pelvic stabilizing muscle training compared with regular care. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Groin pain |
| Intervention | Two different kinds of physiotherapeutic treatments are given for the population. Both treatment strategies are already in use in daily practice. Patients are randomised to receive either pelvic-stabilizing muscle training or usual care |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Severity of the pain over the last three days (11-point visual analogue scale [VAS]) 2. Participation in sports (11-point VAS-scale) 3. General disability (adapted Quebec low back pain disability scale) 4. Global change (six-point Likert scale) 5. How long before return to full athletic activity 6. Recurrences of the same complaints Parameters 1, 2, 3 are measured before and directly after the period of treatment and 26 and 52 weeks after the start of treatment. Parameters 4, 5 and 6 are only measured at 26 and 52 weeks after treatment. |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Hip adduction strength (hand-held dynamometer); 2. Contraction pattern of the abdominal musculature (ultrasound echografie); 3. Active straight leg raise test (ASLR). |
