    • Complementary and Alternative Medicine

    Context:

    • Hip joint arthrosis significantly impacts patient quality of life.
    • Patients awaiting hip replacement surgery often explore various treatment modalities.
    • Understanding patient engagement with alternative therapies is crucial for comprehensive care.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the incidence and patterns of alternative treatment use in patients with hip arthrosis.
    • To identify the primary reasons patients seek alternative interventions for hip pain.
    • To explore demographic and pain-related factors influencing alternative treatment choices.

    Summary:

    • A study of 194 hip arthrosis patients found 43% utilized alternative treatments.
    • The primary driver for seeking alternative care was hip pain (88%).
    • No significant variations in usage or patterns were observed between different geographical locations, nor were they correlated with pain duration, intensity, sex, or age.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the prevalence of alternative medicine in managing hip osteoarthritis symptoms.
    • Informs healthcare providers about patient preferences and motivations for non-conventional therapies.
    • Suggests a need for integrated care approaches that acknowledge and discuss alternative treatments with patients.
