Study for nerve pain after shingles using radiofrequency and a numbing shot
This trial tests a two-step procedure for treating nerve pain after shingles (called postherpetic neuralgia). First, a special type of radiofrequency treatment is applied to block the pain signals. Then, a long-lasting numbing medicine is injected under the skin to help keep the pain away. It is for people aged 40 to 85 who have not gotten enough relief from standard medicines.

Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency for cervical radiculopathy
This study tests a non-surgical treatment using ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency to relieve chronic neck and arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. It may be an option if you have had symptoms for over six weeks and are not helped by other treatments.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT07703293Recruiting
Testing nerve branches for chronic knee pain relief
This study tests a procedure targeting specific nerve branches in the thigh to treat long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments like pain relievers or physical therapy.
AnkaraAges 45–80 - NCT07390279Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for shingles-related nerve pain
This study tests a safe, non-surgical treatment called transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency to see if it can help reduce nerve pain that continues after shingles. It targets the painful area through pads on the skin.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06702046Recruiting
Pulsed radiofrequency acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether a special type of acupuncture using mild radiofrequency energy can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It involves 4 weeks of treatment and a 3-month follow-up to see if the benefits last.
Taipei, StateAges 45–85 - NCT07366060Recruiting
Neck nerve treatment for headache from the neck
This study tests a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency on a nerve in your neck to see if it helps headaches that start from the neck. If standard treatments haven't worked for you, this might be an option.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06008899Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency for cancer anal pain
This trial tests a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency applied through a small needle near the tailbone (caudal epidural) to see if it can help relieve cancer-related anal or perineal pain. It may be an option if you have this type of pain and are in reasonably good health aside from your cancer.

Brain-Computer Interface and Electrical Stimulation for Facial Paralysis
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that combines a brain-computer interface with mild electrical stimulation to help people with one-sided facial paralysis regain movement. It aims to improve facial muscle function by retraining the brain and muscles together.
Changzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06931457Recruiting
Radiofrequency with platelet injection for nerve pain in the throat
This study tests if combining pulsed radiofrequency (a treatment that uses heat to calm nerve pain) with a platelet injection (using your own blood to help healing) is safe and works better for treating throat nerve pain (glossopharyngeal neuralgia) than radiofrequency alone.

Personalized nerve treatment for medication overuse headache
This trial tests a treatment called personalized pulsed radiofrequency, which uses gentle electrical pulses on a nerve at the back of your head to help reduce headaches caused by using too much pain medication. It is designed for people who have been diagnosed with Medication Overuse Headache and want a non-drug option.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulsed radiofrequency?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 44 recruiting pulsed radiofrequency studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pulsed radiofrequency trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pulsed radiofrequency trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
