Freedom-1 Study for Chronic Knee Pain
This study is testing a treatment called wireless neuromodulation for chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. This involves carefully placing a small stimulator near a nerve in your knee to help with pain. To join, you must be over 18 and have had ongoing knee pain from osteoarthritis for at least three months. Your osteoarthritis must also be confirmed by an X-ray from the last year. The study aims to see if this active stimulation can reduce pain by at least 50% after one month, compared to those who don't receive active stimulation. The study is currently recruiting participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 100 participants. It compares those who receive active wireless neuromodulation to those who do not.
- What's involved
- You would undergo a diagnostic injection to see if your pain temporarily improves. If it does, you would then have a procedure to implant the stimulator under local anesthetic.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your pain relief will be measured at one month after the treatment.
