New study aims to improve knee pain relief by testing better targeting methods
NCT ID NCT04472702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two ways to guide a treatment called cooled radiofrequency ablation for knee osteoarthritis pain. The treatment uses heat to calm nerves around the knee. Researchers want to see if using ultrasound is better than the standard X-ray method for targeting the right nerves. About 90 adults with knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments will take part.
