Testing a knee procedure for osteoarthritis pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled for a GAE procedure
- Your knee X-ray shows mild to moderate osteoarthritis (grade 1-3 Kellgren-Lawrence score) within the last 6 months
- You have had moderate to severe knee pain (score >3 on a 0-10 scale) for at least 6 months
- Your pain has not improved with other treatments like pain meds, exercise, weight loss, joint injections, or physical therapy
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35

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 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 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 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 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.
