Under aseptic conditions, including skin disinfection, use of sterile gloves, and a disposable ultrasound probe cover, a single-use needle is inserted under real-time ultrasound guidance toward the anterior hip capsule.\n\nThe needle is introduced with an oblique approach (approximately 45° relative to the skin) until reaching the target tissue. Once positioned, a controlled galvanic current is applied through the needle to induce a localized electrochemical response aimed at promoting tissue remodeling.\n\nEach participant will receive a total of three treatment sessions.

Repetitive movements involving hip flexion, abduction, and rotation may contribute to functional impairment and persistent symptoms.\n\nRecent clinical interest has focused on the relationship between the iliopsoas muscle and the anterior hip capsule, as their close anatomical and functional interaction may play a role in the development of hip-related groin pain.\n\nPercutaneous needle electrolysis (PNE) is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided technique used to promote tissue remodeling and pain reduction in musculoskeletal conditions. However, its application to the anterior hip capsule has not yet been investigated.\n\nThis pilot experimental study aims to evaluate the effects of three sessions of PNE applied to the anterior hip capsule in male ice hockey players with groin pain. The main hypothesis is that this intervention may improve hip function by reducing pain and enhancing mobility and muscle strength.\n\nOutcomes include hip flexor strength, hip flexion range of motion, FADIR test results, and patient-reported outcomes measured with the HAGOS questionnaire. Assessments will be performed before and after the intervention, as well as at a 4-week follow-up.",[69,70],"Groin Pain","Hip Joint Disorders",[72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82],"Ice hockey players","hip joint","groin pain","anterior hip capsule","ileo psoas muscle","Hip flexor strength","Hip range of motion","Musculoskeletal percutaneous electrolysis","Ultrasound-guided intervention","Hip function","Sports-related injury","2026-05-29",{"date":85,"type":86},"2026-06-02","ACTUAL",{"date":83,"type":86},{"date":89,"type":63},"2026-08-14",{"name":49,"class":6},1]
