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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two ways to quiet the nerves around the knee joint to reduce pain from arthritis. It compares a chemical injection (alcohol or phenol) with a heat-based procedure (radiofrequency) to see which works better for people with long-standing knee pain who have not gotten relief from standard treatments.
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 conventional versus cooled radiofrequency treatments for long-lasting knee pain. It aims to see which method reduces pain better and helps patients function more comfortably.
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 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.
This trial studies whether a targeted, ultrasound-guided “pulsed” radiofrequency treatment can reduce long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help if your knee pain is not improving with common medicines and injections.
