Sound wave treatment for chronic nerve pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, noninvasive device that uses sound waves to calm overactive nerves and reduce chronic pain in the legs or feet. It might help if you have nerve pain that is moderate to severe and you can pause pain medicines for a day before treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have moderate to severe pain from a nerve in your leg or foot.
- You can go without any pain medicine (including over-the-counter) for 24 hours before the treatment.
- You do not already have a nerve stimulator device placed in your leg or foot.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is not underweight (normal, overweight, or obese is fine).

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 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 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 tests a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to target nerves causing pain on the inner side of your knee due to osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate to severe knee pain.
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.
This study tests whether ultrasound (sound waves, not imaging) applied to nerves near the skin can reduce chronic pain. Researchers will place small ultrasound devices on your skin over specific nerves and measure whether the pain improves.
