Low dose radiation for osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if a very low dose of radiation can help relieve pain from osteoarthritis in joints like hips, knees, hands, shoulders, ankles, or elbows. It is for people whose pain has not improved with standard treatments or who want to try a gentler option before considering surgery.
