Imaging to predict success of knee artery treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have moderate to severe knee pain (rated higher than 5 out of 10).
- You have tried and not gotten enough relief from at least 3 months of treatments like pain relievers, physical therapy, or joint injections.
- You are not able or willing to have knee surgery.
- You have not smoked in the last year, and you do not have certain other health problems (like fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, or serious kidney issues).

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 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, 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.
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.
