Nerve stimulation plus physical therapy for lower limb pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle nerve stimulation device (neuromodulation) to standard physical therapy can help people with leg, knee, ankle, or foot pain recover faster. It is for adults who have not yet started physical therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old (working age).
- You have a muscle or bone problem in your leg, knee, ankle, or foot.
- You have not yet started physical therapy for this problem.
- You have not had surgery on your leg, knee, ankle, or foot.
- You do not have muscle wasting in your leg caused by another condition.
- You do not have a medical condition that makes neuromodulation unsafe (like a pacemaker or epilepsy).

This trial tests whether adding a gentle nerve stimulation device to standard physical therapy helps people with arm, shoulder, or hand pain recover faster. It's a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor the therapists will know if you're getting the real stimulation or a placebo.
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 trial studies whether nerve stimulation work along with intensive physical therapy can help reduce pain related to a spinal cord injury. It’s aimed at people whose main problem is from a spinal cord lesion.
This trial tests if a noninvasive electrical stimulator (NMES) placed on the residual leg can reduce pain and improve muscle and function in people with a below-knee amputation. It aims to offer a drug-free option for managing chronic limb pain.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
