This early study tests a procedure that uses extreme cold to freeze specific nerves that may be causing your pain, with the help of a special scan to guide the treatment. It aims to see if this approach can safely reduce chronic pain.
This study compares two procedures that use extreme cold or heat to target the nerves around the knee, with the goal of reducing pain from knee osteoarthritis. It is specifically for people with advanced knee osteoarthritis who also have bladder cancer.
This trial compares two types of a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency to treat chronic pain in the pudendal nerve (a nerve in the pelvic area). The goal is to find out if a higher-voltage, longer-duration treatment works better than the standard one.
This study watches how well a freezing procedure works for chronic pain over 6 to 12 months. Your doctor thinks this procedure could help your pain, and the study simply tracks your recovery through questionnaires to help doctors understand if it works.
This trial tests if robot-assisted surgery can relieve pain caused by trapped nerves in the pelvic area. It may help people who have not improved with medication.
