ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new approach to treating gluteal muscle contracture (GMC), a condition that can cause tightness and discomfort in the muscles of the buttocks. The researchers want to see if a special imaging technique called magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) can improve the outcomes of a minimally invasive surgery. In this study, one group of patients will have their surgery guided by MRN to tailor the surgical approach based on their specific imaging results, while another group will have surgery without this guidance. The main goal is to determine if the MRN-assisted surgery leads to better recovery and less pain after the procedure.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 18 and 65 years old, have moderate to severe GMC that hasn't improved with at least six months of other treatments, and be willing to undergo surgery and follow-up appointments. Participants can expect to undergo a preoperative MRI scan, followed by their assigned surgical approach. Throughout the study, the team will monitor how well the surgery works and any complications that may arise. This trial is currently recruiting patients who meet these criteria, and they are looking for individuals who can commit to the process and provide informed consent.
