Summary

This study investigates genicular artery embolization (GAE) as a minimally invasive alternative to ntra-articular corticosteroid injections (IA) or treating knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Designed as a randomized controlled tria, the study compares pain relief effectiveness and safety between GAE and IA over a 12-month follow-up. Eligible participants are aged over 40 with symptomatic knee OA resistant to conservative treatment. Primary outcomes focus on pain reduction (NRS score), while secondary measures include function, quality of life, imaging findings, and adverse events.
