Ultrasound-guided nerve treatment for knee osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe pain on the inner (medial) side of your knee, especially when walking.
- You are over 18 years old.
- Your knee pain and stiffness score (WOMAC) is 30 or higher, and your pain level is at least 6 out of 10 with walking.
- X-rays show knee osteoarthritis (grade 2–4 on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale).
- The space between your skin and the bone at the target spots on your inner knee is between 2 and 6 cm, checked by ultrasound.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study is testing if a type of ultrasound can help predict how well a nerve block injection will work for people with severe knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for your pain.
This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce pain and improve function for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have had persistent knee pain and meet the age and health requirements, this treatment may offer relief without surgery or strong medications.
This trial studies whether a targeted, ultrasound-guided “pulsed” radiofrequency treatment can reduce long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help if your knee pain is not improving with common medicines and injections.
This study tests a treatment using ultrasound to guide a special needle that uses heat to calm pain nerves in the knee. It may help people with advanced knee arthritis who still have pain despite other treatments.
