NCT ID NCT06940479
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) to see if it can reduce knee pain and inflammation in adults with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will compare knee fluid samples and MRI scans before and after the procedure to see if changes in inflammation match how much pain improves. The goal is to understand if GAE works by lowering inflammation in the knee.
