This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing genicular nerve ablation — a minimally invasive procedure that interrupts pain signals from the knee — to help people with knee osteoarthritis find relief. Researchers want to compare two different imaging methods to guide this procedure: computed tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray). The study aims to see which approach works better, causes fewer side effects, and makes patients happier.
Many people with knee osteoarthritis don't get enough pain relief from standard treatments like steroid injections or physical therapy. This treatment offers a new option, but doctors aren't yet sure which imaging method works best to perform it safely and effectively.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to receive the genicular nerve ablation procedure guided by either CT imaging or fluoroscopy. The procedure itself is minimally invasive and done in an outpatient setting. You'll be asked to return for follow-up visits at 3 months to report your pain level, how well your knee is functioning, and your overall satisfaction with the treatment. Researchers will also monitor you for any side effects.
