Nerve stimulation for lower limb muscle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding nerve stimulation to standard physical therapy helps working-age adults with lower limb muscle or joint pain. It aims to see if this combination reduces pain and improves function better than therapy alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are of working age (typically 18-65).
- You have a muscle or joint problem in your leg, foot, or hip.
- You have not yet started physical therapy for this problem.
- You have not had surgery on the affected limb.
- You do not have muscle wasting (atrophy) in the leg due to a nerve or muscle disease.
- You do not have any medical condition that makes nerve stimulation unsafe (e.g., pacemaker, epilepsy).

This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation treatment, added to standard physical therapy, helps reduce pain and improve function in people with arm, shoulder, or hand problems. If you haven't started physical therapy yet, this could be a way to try a new approach.
This trial tests a minimally invasive nerve-stimulation treatment for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain in adults who have not found relief with standard treatments. The procedure uses small needles to deliver electrical stimulation near nerves to reduce pain.
This study tests if a mild electrical current to a nerve in the groin area can improve thigh muscle strength in athletes with long-standing jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy). The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests whether gentle stretching exercises targeting the sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help reduce leg pain and improve how your body perceives pain. Researchers will compare this treatment to standard care to see if it works.
This trial compares two types of nerve gliding exercises (sciatic and femoral) combined with electrical muscle stimulation to treat low back pain that travels into the leg. It aims to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
This study tests whether combining a mild electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve with specific exercises can reduce leg pain from sciatica. It is for people whose nerve-related leg pain has lasted over 6 months and is at least a 3 out of 10 in intensity.
