Key Points

To synthesize evidence on outcomes from nerve-targeted interventions for treating refractory hip pain.
Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
Included studies that reported pain and functional outcomes.
Assessed inter-reviewer agreement and study quality using appropriate criteria.
Summarized patient demographics and procedural details.
60-80% of patients achieved more than 50% pain relief at 3-6 months.
Some patients reported sustained benefits up to 12 months.
Improvements in functional outcomes and some reduction in opioid use observed.
Complications were rare and primarily minor.
