Comparing treatments for chronic hip pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two procedures to ease long-lasting hip pain: one using heat (radiofrequency) and one using a chemical (phenol) to block pain signals from the hip. It aims to find which method works better.

This trial compares two ways to block knee pain: using heat on the nerve (radiofrequency) versus using an alcohol injection. It is for people with long-term knee osteoarthritis who have not had knee surgery.
This trial checks if radiofrequency treatment on certain nerves in the hip can provide lasting pain relief. It follows patients over time to see how well the procedure works for chronic hip pain lasting more than 3 weeks.
This study compares two treatments for long-lasting tailbone pain (coccydynia) that hasn't been helped by a nerve block. One treatment uses radiofrequency (heat) and the other uses a chemical (phenol) to calm the nerve. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
This study compares three different ways to manage pain after hip surgery in older adults. One group gets a nerve block behind the hip, another gets the block plus a numbing injection around the joint, and the third gets only the numbing injection. The goal is to find the best method to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests two ways to give pain medicine around the hip joint during surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients experience less pain after hip replacement.
This trial tests whether a treatment called continuous radiofrequency can reduce pain from hip arthritis. It is for people with moderate arthritis in one hip who have had pain for more than six months.
