Core Tip	The most effective treatment to improve pain and function in patellofemoral pain syndrome is uncertain. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine if the addition of hip-strengthening exercises to traditional physical therapy interventions could effectively reduce pain and increase function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Our analysis indicates that the addition of hip-strengthening exercises provides a significant and relatively large additional reduction in pain and increase in function.
