Nerve-block procedure for severe knee arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve-blocking procedure (radiofrequency ablation) for severe knee arthritis pain. It aims to relieve pain without major surgery, as an alternative to knee replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 50 and 70
- Have severe knee arthritis (stage 3 or 4)
- Be in generally good health (able to undergo a minor procedure)
- No prior knee replacement or nerve-block procedure on the same knee
- No major knee deformity, instability, or recent injury

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 compares two minimally invasive nerve treatments—radiofrequency ablation and alcohol injection—to reduce chronic knee arthritis pain. Both procedures target nerves that carry pain signals from your knee.
This trial tests two ways to quiet the nerves around the knee joint to reduce pain from arthritis. It compares a chemical injection (alcohol or phenol) with a heat-based procedure (radiofrequency) to see which works better for people with long-standing knee pain who have not gotten relief from standard treatments.
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 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 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.
