Compare two pain injections for advanced knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.

This study compares three minimally invasive treatments to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. These treatments aim to block the nerves around the knee using alcohol injection, phenol injection, or a technique that uses heat to disable the nerves.
This study tests whether a nerve block around the knee, guided by ultrasound, can reduce pain in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It may offer a new way to manage pain without surgery.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—embolization (blocking blood flow) and nerve ablation (blocking pain signals)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have long-lasting knee pain and are considering knee replacement surgery, this trial may help find another option.
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people whose knee pain has not improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
This study compares two ways of numbing the nerves around the knee to see which gives better pain relief and improves quality of life for people with knee osteoarthritis. It might help you decide if a nerve block is a good option for your knee pain.
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.
