Nerve block before artery treatment for knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a two-step procedure for long-term knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. First, the nerves around the knee are numbed, and then the small arteries feeding the painful area are blocked. The goal is to see if doing the nerve treatment before the artery treatment works better for reducing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
This study compares two different image-guided techniques (CT scan vs. fluoroscopy) to perform a nerve ablation procedure that blocks pain signals from the knee. It aims to find which method works better for reducing pain in people with knee osteoarthritis.
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.
This study tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the knee can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement surgery. You would receive this nerve block alongside standard anesthesia to see if it helps you need fewer pain medications afterward.
This study compares two nerve-blocking procedures to treat severe knee pain from osteoarthritis. If you have tried other treatments without enough relief, this trial may offer an option to reduce pain without surgery.
This trial studies changes in joint fluid before and after a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to understand how the procedure works to reduce pain and improve knee function.
