Birmingham, AlabamaAges 45–80 - NCT06872567Recruiting
Knee artery block vs. steroid injection for arthritis pain
This study compares two treatments for knee arthritis pain: a procedure that blocks blood flow to the painful area (genicular artery embolization) versus a steroid injection into the knee joint. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 40 years+ - NCT06878417Recruiting
Cannabinoids for osteoarthritis knee or hip pain

SeoulAges 40 years+ - NCT06781463Recruiting
Knee arthritis treatment registry
This study tracks patients with knee arthritis who undergo a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive option for those not ready for or not eligible for knee replacement. The goal is to see how well GAE works for pain relief.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06744036Recruiting
Exercise and electrical stimulation for knee arthritis
