Predicting knee pain relief from knee nerve treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have osteoarthritis in at least one knee.
- You are not scheduled to have knee replacement surgery in the next 6 months.

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 procedure called radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to target nerves around the knee to reduce pain. It may be an option for people with severe knee osteoarthritis who haven't found relief from other treatments.
This study tests two treatments for knee arthritis pain when knee replacement isn't an option: a nerve block using heat (radiofrequency ablation) or a chemical injection (phenol), compared to standard care. It aims to find a better way to reduce pain and improve daily function.
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 a treatment called radiofrequency for knee osteoarthritis. Radiofrequency uses heat to target nerves around the knee, which may help reduce pain and improve your daily comfort.
This trial tests a treatment that uses radio waves to reduce pain signals from the nerves around the knee. It might help if you have long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis and find certain movements very painful.
