Embo Registry; National Registry for Artery Embolization

October 24, 2024 updated by: Vascular Solutions of North Carolina

Multicenter National Registry for Artery Embolization (Embo Registry) for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis and Areas of Localized Pain to Assess Treatment of Artery Embolization to Determine If Subjects Have Decrease Pain, Decreased Use of Narcotics and NSAIDs, and Quality of Life Improvement Post Procedure.

Embo Registry is a retrospective and prospective observational study to evaluate real world effectiveness and the use of Artery Embolization as a treatment for chronic pain with patients that have osteoarthritis and localized pain to provide symptomatic relief. This study is to determine the efficacy and validity of procedure and that following procedure patients had decreased pain and improved quality of life.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Embolic Solution are intended for use in occluding blood vessels for therapeutic or operative purposes. The embolic solution is used during an outpatient procedure, the physician will insert a small catheter onto the artery supplying the lining of the target joint or target localized pain. Tiny particles are then injected through the catheter into these arteries, reducing blood flow to the target area. This reduces the amount of inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, tendonitis, tenosynovitis or an injury, a process that can help decrease symptoms or eliminate the associated localized pain to this area. With understanding that it does not treat the underlying cartilage destruction or underlying condition causing pain but would like to determine the efficacy and validity of this treatment. For the study to determine efficacy and overall improvement of patients post procedure by comparing patient's pain preoperative and post operatively, if there is a decreased use of medication preoperatively compared to post procedure and increased quality of life preoperative and post procedure. Clinical outcomes of improvement will be determined by improvement of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index (WOMAC), EQ-5D-5L Quality of Life Questionnaire, and to determine if patients had decrease used of medication prescribed preoperatively.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

For the study to determine efficacy and overall improvement of patients post artery embolization by comparing patient's pain preoperative and post operatively, if there is a decreased use of medication preoperatively compared to post procedure and increased quality of life preoperative and post procedure. Clinical outcomes of improvement will be determined by improvement of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index (WOMAC), EQ-5D-5L Quality of Life Questionnaire, and to determine if patients had decrease used of medication prescribed preoperatively.
