Knee arthritis pain relief procedure for cancer patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called geniculate artery embolization (GAE) to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis in people who also have cancer. It may help those who cannot or do not want to have knee surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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.
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 is testing a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) to treat knee osteoarthritis. If your knee pain hasn't improved with standard treatments like medicine, this study may be a way to try something new.
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.
