Nerve gliding exercises for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle nerve gliding exercises can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate knee arthritis and are looking for a non-drug treatment.

This study looks at nerve-related pain in people with knee osteoarthritis and how it affects their pain level and daily function. It may help understand if nerve pain is a key factor in your knee OA symptoms.
This trial tests a type of physical therapy called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and improve how well your knee works.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—radiofrequency ablation (using heat) and alcohol injections—to see which one better relieves chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments like physical therapy or medications.
This study tests a treatment that uses radiofrequency (heat) to target specific nerves around the knee to reduce chronic pain from knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you've had knee pain for a long time and haven't responded to other treatments.
This study tests if gentle, slow Feldenkrais movement exercises can reduce knee pain and improve mobility in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It is designed for those who are still able to walk and get up from the floor, but are experiencing significant pain.
This study compares two ways of moving the knee joint to reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You will either do the joint mobilization yourself at home or have a physical therapist do it for you, and both groups will also do exercises. The goal is to see if self-applied techniques work as well as those done by a therapist.
