NCT ID NCT05103527
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a treatment called dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) can reduce chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. About 30 adults with long-term knee pain who have not had surgery or are not good candidates for it will receive a device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves near the spine. The main goal is to see if at least half of participants report a 50% or greater drop in pain after 3 months.
