Sound wave therapy for chronic nerve pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new, noninvasive device that uses sound waves (called hypersound) to calm overactive nerves and reduce chronic pain in the legs or feet. If you have moderate to severe nerve-related pain and are not using a nerve stimulator implant, this could be an option to explore.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have chronic pain that is more than moderate (for example, a 6 or higher on a 0–10 pain scale).
- You must be willing to stop taking all pain medicines—both over-the-counter and prescription—for 24 hours before each treatment.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be normal or higher (not underweight).
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must not have a nerve stimulator device implanted in your legs or feet.

This study tests a procedure targeting specific nerve branches in the thigh to treat long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments like pain relievers or physical therapy.
This trial studies whether a radiofrequency procedure can reduce chronic knee pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help people who still have bothersome pain between 6 months and 5 years after their operation, as long as their pain pattern and medications are stable.
This study tests a treatment that uses radiofrequency (heat) to target specific nerves around the knee to reduce chronic pain from knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you've had knee pain for a long time and haven't responded to other treatments.
This study tests a new device that uses high-frequency sound waves (hypersound) to treat chronic nerve pain or pain from nerve roots, like sciatica. It may help reduce pain without surgery or stronger medications.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to gently stimulate specific nerves can reduce chronic pain. It may help people whose pain hasn't been relieved by other treatments.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic nerve pain after an injury. It uses a device that sends short bursts of energy to the painful area to help reduce pain without surgery.
