Knee pain relief study for osteoarthritis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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 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.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—embolization (blocking blood flow) and nerve ablation (blocking pain signals)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have long-lasting knee pain and are considering knee replacement surgery, this trial may help find another option.
This study tests a procedure targeting specific nerve branches in the thigh to treat long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments like pain relievers or physical therapy.
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 watches how well a freezing procedure works for chronic pain over 6 to 12 months. Your doctor thinks this procedure could help your pain, and the study simply tracks your recovery through questionnaires to help doctors understand if it works.
