- NCT06473389Recruiting
A treatment for shoulder pain after stroke
This trial tests a treatment called suprascapular radiofrequency ablation (a targeted heat procedure) to help relieve shoulder pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have severe shoulder pain.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18 years+ - NCT05962463Recruiting
Compare two pain injections for advanced knee arthritis
This trial compares pulsed radiofrequency therapy versus a targeted nerve pain block to help reduce knee pain from advanced osteoarthritis. You might join if you have knee osteoarthritis in the more severe range (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3–4) and meet safety requirements.
LjubljanaAges 45–100 - NCT07190339Recruiting
Nerve block for hip osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests whether blocking specific nerves in the hip and groin area can reduce pain from hip osteoarthritis when standard treatments like painkillers or physical therapy haven't worked.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT06492213Recruiting
Combining PRP with Radiofrequency for Face Nerve Pain
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood that may help healing) to a standard pulsed radiofrequency procedure reduces pain from infraorbital neuralgia more effectively than radiofrequency alone. It involves two treatments and follow-up for several months.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06888804Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic heel fracture pain
This study tests a non-surgical treatment (pulsed radiofrequency, or PRF) applied to a nerve in the ankle to see if it can reduce long-term pain after a heel bone (calcaneus) fracture. It may be an option if you have had pain for more than 3 months and other treatments haven't worked.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06204874Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder pain in women
This trial tests a new nerve stimulation approach for women with bladder pain syndrome. It aims to find a gentler way to reduce pain and urgency without surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06393959Recruiting
Injection treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis pain
This study tests whether an injection treatment can help relieve back and leg pain caused by a narrowed spinal canal in the lower back. It is for people whose pain has lasted at least 3 months and who have not had back surgery.
Ankara, TürkiyeAges 18–90 - NCT06472323Recruiting
Pulsed radiofrequency with platelet-rich plasma for trigeminal neuralgia
This trial tests a treatment that combines pulsed radiofrequency and platelet-rich plasma to see if it works better for trigeminal neuralgia pain that hasn't been helped by standard medicines like carbamazepine.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06787677Recruiting
SPG pulsed radiofrequency for chronic cluster headache
This trial tests a treatment called sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic cluster headache. It uses short bursts of energy to calm a nerve cluster in the face that is linked to the pain, and may help when standard medicines like verapamil or lithium haven't worked.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06890897Recruiting
Esketamine with pulsed radiofrequency for shingles-related face pain
This trial tests whether adding esketamine (a medicine related to ketamine) to a standard nerve treatment (pulsed radiofrequency) can better relieve face pain caused by shingles. It may help if you have ongoing, moderate-to-severe pain in your face or scalp.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07360093Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic hip pain from osteoarthritis
This study tests a nerve block treatment for people with long-term hip pain from osteoarthritis who haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments. It aims to see if this procedure can help reduce pain.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07383558Recruiting
Adding nerve treatment for chronic heel pain
This trial tests if adding a nerve treatment (pulsed radiofrequency of the sural nerve) to standard care helps people with long-lasting heel pain. It may reduce pain and improve function.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07500558Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve block for chronic migraine pain relief
This study tests two power levels of a pulsed radiofrequency treatment aimed at a nerve cluster behind your cheekbone to reduce chronic migraine pain. If you have frequent migraines that haven't responded well to two or more preventive medications, this could be an option for you.
MinyaAges 20–70 - NCT07511751Recruiting
Comparing treatments for myofascial pain syndrome
This trial compares three different treatments to find which works best for long-term back pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome, a condition where tight muscle knots cause pain. It is for people who have not found relief with standard treatments.
Adapazarı, SakaryaAges 18–65 - NCT06185816RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Non-invasive pulsed radiofrequency for nerve pain
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic nerve pain after an injury. It uses a device that sends short bursts of energy to the painful area to help reduce pain without surgery.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04823299Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation ablation using two different energy types
This trial tests whether one ablation approach works better than another for paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation by targeting the heart’s “triggers” and “substrate” (where the rhythm problem is). If you qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two ablation energy methods during a pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06199180Recruiting
Comparing two ablation methods for repeat atrial fibrillation treatment
This trial tests a newer type of energy (pulsed field ablation) against the standard heat-based method (radiofrequency) for people who have already had one ablation and now have atrial fibrillation again. The goal is to see which works better for keeping your heart in a normal rhythm.
GroningenAges 18–80 - NCT03288207Recruiting
Phone-based coaching to help overweight Black women improve heart health
This study tests a mobile app (phone-based program) to help overweight or obese African American women improve weight and cardiovascular (heart) health. You’ll also use a wrist activity monitor, and you may be offered optional MRI scans for extra measurements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 21–75 - NCT06383975Recruiting
Two new treatments for AF that returned after first procedure
This trial tests two new treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation that came back after an initial procedure. One uses a targeted chemical injection, the other uses a special energy field to re-isolate the veins involved.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07156877Recruiting
Balloon Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to isolate the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart. It may be a treatment option for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for an ablation procedure.

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.
