Article Synopsis
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) commonly affects postmenopausal women, and this study investigates the potential benefits of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and exercise on tendon pain and function in this population.*
-
- In a randomized controlled trial with 132 participants, those receiving MHT alongside tendon-specific exercises showed significant improvements in tendon function (measured by the VISA-G scale) compared to those on placebo, particularly after 12 and 52 weeks.*
-
- Results indicated that both MHT and education about gluteal tendon management were effective, and outcomes varied based on the participants' Body Mass Index (BMI), suggesting tailored approaches may be beneficial for different individuals.*
