Study of NOVABLOC system for knee replacement pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called the NOVABLOC system to see if it helps control pain during and after knee replacement surgery. It is for people with osteoarthritis who are having their first knee replacement on one knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older
- You have osteoarthritis and are scheduled for a first-time total knee replacement on one knee
- You are not taking strong daily opioids (like morphine or oxycodone) in the month before surgery
- You do not have a serious heart condition, an implanted device (like a pacemaker), or uncontrolled diabetes
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and attend follow-up visits for up to 45 days

This trial tests a revised method for radiofrequency ablation to treat chronic knee pain from severe osteoarthritis (KL grade III or IV). It aims to see if the procedure can help patients who haven't gotten relief from standard treatments like physical therapy, painkillers, and steroid injections.
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 compares pulsed radiofrequency therapy versus a targeted nerve pain block to help reduce knee pain from advanced osteoarthritis. You might join if you have knee osteoarthritis in the more severe range (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3–4) and meet safety requirements.
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 study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) before a standard heat-based nerve block (radiofrequency ablation) can improve relief of long-term knee pain caused by arthritis. If you qualify, you'll receive the RFA procedure and may be randomly assigned to also use VR.
This trial tests if a nerve block given a few weeks before knee replacement surgery can improve pain and function after the operation. It is designed for people who have certain risk factors that might make recovery harder.
