Radiofrequency treatment for knee osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people whose knee pain has not improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are older than 50 years.
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis by a doctor and confirmed with an X-ray.
- Your knee pain is long-term and has not improved with other treatments like physical therapy, pain pills, or injections.
- Your knee pain is not from an infection, tumor, fracture, or recent injury.
- You have not had knee surgery, and you haven't had knee injections in the last 3 months.
- You are not taking blood-thinning medications.

This study compares two procedures that use extreme cold or heat to target the nerves around the knee, with the goal of reducing pain from knee osteoarthritis. It is specifically for people with advanced knee osteoarthritis who also have bladder cancer.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for knee pain caused by arthritis when other treatments haven't worked. One uses cold (cryoneurolysis) and the other uses heat (radiofrequency) to calm nerves and reduce pain.
This trial compares two ways (ultrasound or X-ray guidance) to place a treatment for painful knee arthritis. It aims to see whether one guidance method works as well as the other for reducing knee 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 study compares three minimally invasive treatments to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. These treatments aim to block the nerves around the knee using alcohol injection, phenol injection, or a technique that uses heat to disable the nerves.
This study is testing a new way to see if a treatment called radiofrequency ablation (which uses heat to quiet pain nerves) might help knee arthritis, using a special brain-scanning technique to predict who responds best.
