Knee artery treatment for chronic osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have had knee pain for more than 6 months that is at least a 4 out of 10 on a pain scale.
- You have tried other treatments like physical therapy, braces, weight control, or pain medications, but they haven't helped enough.
- You are not willing or able to get a steroid injection into your knee.
- You have not had any knee surgery (like meniscus repair or knee replacement) other than a simple scope 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 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 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 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 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 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.
