Ultrasound-guided nerve treatment for knee arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment using ultrasound to guide a special needle that uses heat to calm pain nerves in the knee. It may help people with advanced knee arthritis who still have pain despite other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a treatment that uses radio waves to reduce pain signals from the nerves around the knee. It might help if you have long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis and find certain movements very painful.
This trial tests a revised method for radiofrequency ablation to treat chronic knee pain from severe osteoarthritis (KL grade III or IV). It aims to see if the procedure can help patients who haven't gotten relief from standard treatments like physical therapy, painkillers, and steroid injections.
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.
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat to calm the nerves around the knee, which may reduce pain for people with advanced knee arthritis who haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
This study tests whether targeted radiofrequency therapy can reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. It's for people with confirmed knee OA and chronic pain who are in generally good health.
This study tests two treatments for knee arthritis pain when knee replacement isn't an option: a nerve block using heat (radiofrequency ablation) or a chemical injection (phenol), compared to standard care. It aims to find a better way to reduce pain and improve daily function.
