Summary

This study tested a procedure called transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in 12 people with long-lasting elbow or foot pain that didn't get better with usual treatments like physical therapy or medication. The goal was to see if blocking certain blood vessels could reduce pain over 6 to 12 months. Results focused on pain scores and safety, offering a potential option for those with limited relief from standard care.
