Comparison of the Effectiveness of an Integrated TECAR Therapy Program and Conventional Physiotherapy on Pain and Range of Motion in Patients with Non-Structural Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial

PURPOSE: This study compared the effectiveness of an integrated Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) program and conventional physiotherapy (CPT) on the pain and passive range of motion (PROM) in patients with non-structural femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).METHODS: Thirty-three patients with non-structural FAIS were randomized into TECAR (n = 17) or CPT (n = 16) groups.The TECAR group received 500 kHz radiofrequency energy integrated with mobilization and exercises (three sessions/week for four weeks).The CPT group received hot packs, ultrasound, and interferential current.Pain was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS), and hip function was assessed using passive range of motion (PROM).
