Non-invasive pulsed radiofrequency for nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic nerve pain after an injury. It uses a device that sends short bursts of energy to the painful area to help reduce pain without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have chronic nerve pain that started after a nerve injury (like from surgery, trauma, or pressure on a nerve)
- You have had a nerve block that gave you at least 50% pain relief
- You have been on the same pain medications for at least 30 days
- Your pain level is at least 5 out of 10 (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain)
- You do not have an implanted medical device like a pacemaker or spinal cord stimulator

This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
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 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 tests a device implanted in the brain that may reduce long-lasting nerve pain that has not improved with other treatments. It could help people with pain after nerve injury, stroke, or other conditions.
This trial tests a new type of spinal cord stimulation for people with long-term nerve pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this special stimulation pattern can reduce pain better than standard care.
This study tests a procedure that uses heat from a special needle to calm overactive nerves in your lower back. It compares two ways of delivering this treatment to see which works better for long-term pain relief.
