Pregabalin and Movement Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve pain medication called pregabalin, applied through ultrasound waves to your knee, combined with gentle movement exercises, can reduce pain in advanced knee osteoarthritis. You'll attend 16 treatment sessions over 4 weeks to see if this combination helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with Grade III knee osteoarthritis (confirmed by X-ray within the past year or a new X-ray)
- Evidence of nerve-related pain in the knee using a DN-4 questionnaire (score of 4 or higher)
- Age 40–70 years old
- Able to attend 4 sessions per week for 4 consecutive weeks (16 total sessions)
- No recent knee injections (corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid) within 3 months
- No metal implants, pacemakers, or electronic devices in your body that would prevent ultrasound treatment

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear can help reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. If you join, you'll be asked to stop taking your current knee pain medicines during the trial, but you can use a safe rescue medicine (acetaminophen/paracetamol) if needed.
This trial studies changes in joint fluid before and after a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to understand how the procedure works to reduce pain and improve knee function.
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 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.
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.
