What this trial studies

The Embo Registry is an observational study that evaluates the effectiveness of artery embolization as a treatment for chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis and other localized pain conditions. It involves both retrospective and prospective data collection to assess patient outcomes following the procedure. The embolization technique reduces blood flow to the affected area, aiming to alleviate inflammation and pain. The study will measure changes in pain levels and quality of life using various clinical assessment tools before and after the procedure.
