Embolization for chronic shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called embolization to treat long-lasting shoulder pain that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections. The goal is to see if blocking certain blood vessels can reduce pain and improve function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe shoulder pain that has lasted at least 6 months.
- You have tried treatments like pain medications, injections, or physical therapy for at least 6 months, including 6 weeks of physical therapy.
- You do not have certain blood vessel problems or severe kidney disease.
- You have not had shoulder replacement or rotator cuff repair surgery.

This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called transcatheter arterial embolization using tiny particles (Nexsphere-F) to reduce chronic shoulder pain that has not improved with physical therapy, medications, or injections. It aims to see if this treatment can safely improve pain and shoulder movement.
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a new procedure that blocks tiny blood vessels (TAME) and a steroid injection. You must have had shoulder pain for at least a month and be willing to do physical therapy.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called TAME that uses tiny beads to block small blood vessels in the elbow or wrist, which may reduce chronic pain. It's for people whose pain hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.
This trial tests a procedure called genicular artery embolization for people with knee osteoarthritis who have not found enough relief from other treatments. It aims to see if imaging can help predict who will benefit most.
This trial tests a new procedure called genicular artery embolization to treat knee pain from osteoarthritis. If you have moderate to severe knee pain and are not a candidate for knee replacement or other surgery, this treatment may help reduce pain and improve function.
