NCT ID NCT07637682
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a short, temporary nerve stimulation can reduce pain in people with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. About 100 adults aged 30 to 70 who have not found relief from oral pain medications or physical therapy will receive a brief electrical pulse to specific nerves around the knee. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach can lower pain scores immediately after treatment.

What this could lead to
