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.

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 study compares conventional versus cooled radiofrequency treatments for long-lasting knee pain. It aims to see which method reduces pain better and helps patients function more comfortably.
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 tests whether targeted radiofrequency therapy can reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. It's for people with confirmed knee OA and chronic pain who are in generally good health.
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.
