Genicular artery embolization for painful knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 studies changes in joint fluid before and after a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to understand how the procedure works to reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study looks at whether blocking small blood vessels in the knee (genicular artery embolisation) can reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis when other non-surgical treatments haven't helped. It also checks safety and whether people can tolerate the imaging tests needed for the procedure.
This trial tests a procedure called genicular artery embolization, which blocks small blood vessels around the knee to reduce pain from moderate arthritis. It may help people whose knee pain hasn't improved with medications.
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.
