ReneuRx™ (Nerve Selective Therapy) Utilized in Lateral Hip Pain
(RENEU)
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and analgesic performance of the ReneuRx™ device in subjects with moderate to severe chronic lateral hip pain compared to subjects receiving treatment with corticosteroid injection in adults aged 22-80 years. Participants will attend study visits and complete quality of life questionnaires.
View original scientific description
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and analgesic performance of the ReneuRx™ device in subjects with moderate to severe chronic lateral hip pain compared to subjects receiving treatment with corticosteroid injection in adults aged 22-80 years. Participants will attend study visits and complete quality of life questionnaires. Participants will be followed for approximately 6-12 months after the study procedure.
Interventions
DRUG
Triamcinolone acetate
A single 40mg Triamcinolone dose, prepared as 1ml of steroid mixed with 4ml of saline, of which 3-5ml is injected.
DEVICE
ReneuRx
ReneuRx will be injected around the trochanteric branches of the femoral nerve.
Primary outcome measures
Primary Effectiveness
Time frame: 3-months post treatment
The primary endpoint of this study is the proportion of subjects whose hip pain following activity (Timed Up and Go test) is reduced by ≥30% based on the NRS scale at 3 months post treatment
Primary Safety
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 12-months
Aggregate serious device-related adverse events through final follow-up visit
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Age 22 to 80, inclusive of any gender
- Baseline pain intensity of \>5 of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) localized to the lateral aspect of the hip (with or without radiation to lateral thigh or buttock) despite current treatment
- Tenderness to palpation of the peritrochanteric space of the lateral hip in adults with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.
- At least 6 months of previous conservative treatments for subject's lateral hip pain (NSAID, acetaminophen, physical therapy, and/or cortisone injections) that are not currently providing relief
- Agree to see study investigator and study team for hip pain during the study period
- Willing/able to understand the informed consent form and provide written informed consent
- Able to complete outcome measures (including electronic patient reported outcome measures)
Exclusion criteria
- Known allergy to glycerol, hyaluronic acid, poloxamer 407, or phosphate buffered saline
- History of cryoglobulinemia
- History of cold-induced auto-immune hemolytic anemia (e.g. paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria or cold agglutinin disease)
- History of cold urticaria
- History of Chilblain's (pernio) disease in the lower extremities
- History of Raynaud's disease
- Open and/or infected wounds or active tumor at or near the treatment site
- History of vascular surgery involving femoral vessels on theinjection side
- History of hip surgery of any kind to the index side within the past 6 months (e.g., arthroscopy, arthroplasty, etc.)
- History of trochanteric osteotomy, femoral osteotomy, amputation, or pseudoarthrosis.
- Active bacterial or fungal infection that, at the discretion of the investigator, would preclude study participation
- Currently taking \>60 MME/day
- History of systemic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis
- Bleeding disorders, unless appropriately stopped or reversed for the procedure at investigator's discretion
- Any neuropathic pain condition (e.g. - complex regional pain syndrome, lumbar radiculopathy) in the area of pain
- Presence of unstable psychiatric disease
- Cryoneurolysis, thermal or pulsed radiofrequency ablation, or phenol injection for the index hip(s) within the past 12 months
- Corticosteroid injection within the previous 3 months or orthobiologic therapy such as platelet rich plasma injections, or shockwave therapy for the index hip(s) within the previous 6 months
- Known contraindication to use of a regional anesthetic block
- Pregnant, nursing, or intent of becoming pregnant during the study period
- Documented evidence of an overlapping pain pattern from another source that the Investigator believes to be indistinguishable from lateral hip pain
- Lumbar or sacroiliac fusion within the previous 6 months
- Any other condition (such as history of deep vein thrombosis, significant cardiovascular, renal failure/dialysis, hepatic or other systemic comorbidity/chronic pain condition including cancer) or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject or the quality of study data
- Body habitus/hip anatomy that would preclude the use of the product injection needle size
- Participation in any clinical study of a therapeutic investigational product within 30 days prior to enrollment
- Pending litigation or disability status
- Unwilling to refrain from any scheduled surgeries that would impact the collection of study endpoint data during the duration of the study
- Subject is a prisoner

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
