Imaging to predict success of knee artery embolization for osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special imaging scan can help predict how well a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) works for knee osteoarthritis pain. GAE is a minimally invasive treatment for people who have not gotten relief from other therapies and want to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 40 years old.
- You must have moderate to severe knee pain — at least 5 on a 0-to-10 pain scale.
- You must have a knee X-ray showing osteoarthritis and meet a certain severity score.
- You must have already tried at least 3 months of treatments like pain medication, physical therapy, or knee injections, but they haven't worked.
- You must be willing to follow study procedures and come for follow-up visits.
- You cannot have had a total or partial knee replacement in the affected knee, and you cannot be a current smoker (or have quit within the last year).

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 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, 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 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.
