Minimally Invasive Procedure Offers Lasting Pain Relief for Knee Osteoarthritis Without Surgery

A new study involving 194 patients found that genicular artery embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, significantly reduced knee pain and improved mobility for at least 12 months in individuals with osteoarthritis. The treatment uses tiny, dissolvable particles to block abnormal blood vessels, easing inflammation. No moderate or severe adverse events were reported in the study, which was published in the journal Radiology.
