About the Study
About the Study
Chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis can significantly impact daily life, mobility, and overall well-being. Current treatment options—such as medications, physical therapy, and injections—do not always provide lasting relief, and surgery may not be appropriate for everyone.
This research study is evaluating an investigational approach called peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), which targets a specific nerve in the knee to help reduce pain.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how well this therapy works compared to a control (inactive) treatment and to evaluate its safety.
Participants who qualify will:
- Undergo a short trial period with the study device
- If successful, receive a longer-term implant
- Be randomly assigned to receive either active therapy or an inactive (sham) setting for comparison
- Be followed over time to assess pain relief, function, and quality of life
