Treatment for severe knee pain using artery embolization
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure that blocks tiny arteries in the knee to reduce pain from severe arthritis. It is for people who cannot have knee replacement surgery because of other health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe knee arthritis (grade 3 or higher).
- You have had knee pain for at least 3 months that did not improve with treatments like pain relievers, physical therapy, or injections.
- You are a candidate for knee replacement surgery but cannot have it due to other health conditions.
- You have not had knee surgery on that knee before, no active cancer or infection, and no recent injections in the knee (within 6 months).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to block small blood vessels in the knee, which may reduce pain from osteoarthritis. It's for people with ongoing knee pain even after standard treatments like medication or physical therapy.
This study tests whether blocking certain arteries in the knee can relieve pain from osteoarthritis. If you have moderate to severe knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments, this procedure might be an option for you.
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 new treatment called embolization using a special material (NBGM200) to block certain blood vessels in the knee. It may help reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
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 if a minimally invasive procedure that blocks small arteries can reduce pain and swelling in arthritic knees. It's for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis who still have pain after trying other treatments and are already considering knee replacement surgery.
