ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The greater trochanteric pain syndrome is a painful condition that involves changes in the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, which can interfere with the performance of functional tasks. The study aimed to analyze the conservative treatment strategies for pain management, the instruments, and provocative tests used in the evaluation of this syndrome. CONTENTS: A systematic search for articles published in indexed journals in the Medline, Scielo, PEDro, Cochrane Library, VHL Regional Portal, ScienceDirect database was conducted, using AND and OR Boolean operators for the primary “Gluteal tendinopathy” crossing with the secondary descriptors “AND conservative treatment; AND rehabilitation; AND physiotherapy; AND management; AND physiotherapy treatment; OR greater trochanteric pain; OR trochanteric syndrome”, in English and Portuguese, from 2014 to 2019. The primary outcome aimed to identify the conservative treatment and/or combined for pain management, and the secondary outcome aimed to outline the instruments and tests to assess the greater trochanteric pain syndrome. CONCLUSION: Given the lack of studies and the difficulty of consensus among authors, it was not possible to reach conclusions about the efficacy of the protocols.
