Thermovision-guided lumbar nerve block for severe leg pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called a lumbar sympathetic block (a numbing injection around nerves in your lower back) guided by a special heat-sensing camera. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce severe leg pain caused by chronic limb-threatening ischemia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had leg pain for at least 6 months and rate it as 5 or higher on a 0-10 pain scale.
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant within the next 3 years.
- You do not have chronic venous insufficiency (a condition with leg swelling and skin changes due to blood pooling).
- You (or your legal guardian) can understand the study and sign a consent form.

This trial tests if an ultrasound-guided nerve block can provide better pain relief for sciatica compared to standard care. If you have severe leg pain from sciatica, this study might help you find effective pain control.
This trial tests if a targeted nerve root injection can improve outcomes for people with persistent leg pain from a compressed nerve in the lower back, with the goal of tailoring surgery more precisely.
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This study compares two needle-based techniques to treat long-lasting low back pain by stopping overactive pain signals from specific back joints. If you’ve already tried physical therapy and pain medicines without enough relief, this trial may test which technique works better for pain reduction.
This trial tests a new way to numb the sciatic nerve for surgeries below the knee, like fixing ankle breaks or correcting toe deformities. It aims to see if it's safe and works well.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (nerve block) to treat a condition where a nerve in the low back gets pinched, causing long-term buttock or low back pain. It aims to see which method works better.
