Summary

Intra-articular hip injections are commonly used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes but are often associated with patient anxiety and fear. The disparity between anticipated and experienced pain during these injections, as well as the role of pre-injection local anesthesia in pain modulation, remains unclear. This study investigates the difference between anticipated and experienced pain during intra-articular hip injections. In addition, the study examines the impact of pre-injection local anesthesia in 60 prospectively recruited patients, some of whom received pre-injection local anesthesia while others did not. These study findings provide valuable insights into experienced pain during intra-articular hip injections, which can be applied to improve patient experiences and treatment compliance.
