CHRONIC KNEE PAIN

This study compares three approaches for chronic knee pain: standard steroid injections, nerve stimulation with steroid injections, and nerve stimulation with placebo injections. Researchers want to see which method works best for improving knee movement and reducing pain over 90…

This study is testing whether focused sound waves can safely block pain signals from arthritic knees. The non-invasive procedure uses ultrasound to target nerves through the skin without needles. Researchers are enrolling 10 Canadian adults with chronic knee osteoarthritis pain t…

This study is testing a smartphone app that teaches people to use ear acupressure to manage their own chronic pain. It will involve 693 adults from rural areas who have long-term pain in areas like their back, neck, or knees. Researchers will compare learning the technique throug…

This study is testing a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to see if it can ease chronic pain in people who still have significant knee pain after a knee replacement. Researchers will use heat to target specific nerves around the knee to try to block pain signals. They will…

This study aims to understand how long-term pain conditions like chronic knee pain and fibromyalgia might change the way the brain sends signals to muscles. Researchers will compare adults over 40 with these conditions to pain-free volunteers. Participants will undergo pain sensi…

This study aims to understand why people with similar knee arthritis damage experience very different levels of pain, especially when walking. Researchers will recruit 300 adults with chronic knee pain to complete surveys, walking tests, knee scans, and non-invasive brain imaging…
