Nerve radiofrequency treatment for chronic leg pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have pain that shoots down one leg (with or without low back pain) for at least 3 months.
- An MRI scan shows a problem in your spine that matches the location of your leg pain.
- Your pain feels like it comes from nerve damage (burning, tingling, or electric shocks).
- You have had a nerve block injection that temporarily relieved your pain.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency applied to the nerve root (dorsal root ganglion) to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain from a pinched nerve. The goal is to find the best level of stimulation to make the treatment work better.
This trial tests a combination of gentle nerve gliding exercises and muscle relaxation techniques for people with chronic leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce pain and improve movement.
This study tests a treatment that uses magnetic pulses through the spine to reduce nerve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back. The goal is to see if this painless, non-invasive therapy can help improve your symptoms.
This study tests a treatment called radiofrequency, which uses heat to block pain signals from nerves in your lower back. It compares how well the treatment works in older adults (65+) versus younger adults with long-term leg and back pain (sciatica).
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 study tests a non-surgical treatment using ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency to relieve chronic neck and arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. It may be an option if you have had symptoms for over six weeks and are not helped by other treatments.
