Steroid shot vs. standard procedure for knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a corticosteroid shot (a strong anti-inflammatory medicine) into the knee joint works better than the standard GAE procedure for people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see which approach provides better pain relief and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have knee osteoarthritis diagnosed by a doctor (with X-rays or other imaging).
- Your doctor says you are a candidate for a procedure called geniculate artery embolization (GAE) for your knee pain.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no active infection or skin problem at the injection site (the knee area).
- You have not had knee surgery in the last 6 months, and you are not currently in another clinical trial.

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 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 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.
This study compares three different injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis: a steroid (cortisone), dextrose prolotherapy (sugar water), and platelet-rich plasma (using your own blood). The goal is to see which works best for long-term pain relief and joint 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 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.
