Knee embolization for post-replacement pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-surgical treatment called microparticle geniculate artery embolization for people with persistent knee pain after a total knee replacement. It aims to reduce pain by blocking tiny blood vessels that may be causing inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have had a total knee replacement for at least one year.
- You have ongoing knee pain (rated 40 or more on a 0-100 scale) for at least 3 months, despite trying pain relievers like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen.
- Tests (X-rays, bone scan, CT scan, and blood work) done within the last 6 months have ruled out a loose or infected prosthesis, or other problems.
- No plan for a revision (replacement) surgery.
- An ultrasound shows increased blood flow in the painful area of your knee.

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.
This trial compares two different numbing techniques used during knee replacement surgery to see which one works better for pain control and allows you to move your leg sooner after surgery. You'll receive one of two doses of a numbing medication (Naropeine) around your knee to help manage pain.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—embolization (blocking blood flow) and nerve ablation (blocking pain signals)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have long-lasting knee pain and are considering knee replacement surgery, this trial may help find another option.
This trial tests a procedure called genicular artery embolization to reduce pain in people with knee osteoarthritis that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if blocking certain blood vessels can relieve pain and help you avoid or delay knee replacement surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to block small blood vessels in the knee, which may reduce pain from osteoarthritis. It's for people with ongoing knee pain even after standard treatments like medication or physical therapy.
