Acoustic therapy for ongoing joint pain from osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests a sustained acoustic medicine device to help reduce pain from osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) in joints like knees or hips. Because it’s early-stage research, you may be asked to follow strict rules about pain medicines and device use while the team monitors safety and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild to moderate osteoarthritis in specific joints (knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip) or spine, confirmed by a doctor
- You’re 35 to 85 years old
- In the past week, your pain was often moderate—about 3 to 7 out of 10—and it affects your daily life
- You can use the study device yourself every day at home (without soaking it in water like during bathing)
- You won’t use creams, gels, or topical treatments on the treatment area besides the study’s approved treatment
- You will not take opioid or non-opioid pain medicines, and you will pause other pain procedures on the target area during the study
