Nerve calming treatment for chronic leg and back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure that uses heat from a special needle to calm overactive nerves in your lower back. It compares two ways of delivering this treatment to see which works better for long-term pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had leg or back pain for at least 3 months
- Your pain is rated 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale
- Pain is only on one side of your body
- An MRI shows a herniated disc or spinal narrowing pressing on a nerve root
- You have tried other treatments (like physical therapy or medications) without enough relief

This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This study tests a treatment called radiofrequency that uses heat to calm the nerves causing leg pain from your back. Researchers want to see how well it works in older adults compared with younger adults.
This study tests a treatment that uses magnetic pulses through the spine to reduce nerve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back. The goal is to see if this painless, non-invasive therapy can help improve your symptoms.
This study compares two needle-based techniques to treat long-lasting low back pain by stopping overactive pain signals from specific back joints. If you’ve already tried physical therapy and pain medicines without enough relief, this trial may test which technique works better for pain reduction.
This trial tests a treatment for leg pain caused by a slipped disc in the lower back. It combines two procedures—one that uses a catheter to free scar tissue and another that uses radio waves to calm pain nerves—to see if it works better than radio waves alone.
This study compares two ways of doing a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat low back pain coming from the small joints in the spine. It aims to find which approach gives better pain relief.
