Overview
Brief Summary
Assess GAE efficacy using an ethiodized oil-based emulsion versus a sham procedure, by comparing the 3-months effect on knee pain in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
Detailed Description
Patients will be screened during current practice consultation in each recruiting center (Screening Visit). When a patient will meet the eligibility criteria, he will be informed about the protocol. The Interventional Radiologist will further explain the protocol to the patient and check inclusion/non-inclusion criteria during baseline visit. The date of signature of the informed consent by the patient will be considered as the date of inclusion. GAE (embolization) will be scheduled within the next few days. Randomization will occur during the embolization visit, before patient is taken to the operating room. Randomization in a 2:1 ratio of GAE using emulsion to the sham procedure will be performed with stratification on Kellgren and Lawrence score (2-3 versus 4). All target arteries will be injected with an ethiodized oil-based emulsion (GAE group). Patient will be kept blind to the actual treatment using headphones or virtual headset. Follow-up visits will be scheduled 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after randomization. Patient will be informed about his randomisation group (GAE or sham) after the completion of questionnaires (VAS pain, WOMAC, EQ-5D, HAD) at the 3-month visit and will be allowed to choose further medical \& clinical management of his target KOA.
