This registry study is collecting information from patients who have received a minimally invasive procedure called artery embolization for chronic pain. During the procedure, a small catheter is guided into the blood vessels supplying the affected joint or tendon, and tiny particles are injected to reduce blood flow to that area. The study wants to understand whether this treatment helps decrease pain, reduces the need for pain medications like opioids and anti-inflammatories, and improves overall quality of life.
Many people with osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and other conditions that cause chronic localized pain struggle with ongoing discomfort and heavy reliance on pain medications. This study exists to determine whether reducing blood flow to inflamed joints and tendons is an effective way to manage pain and help patients need fewer medications without fixing the underlying damage.

As a participant, you would already have had the artery embolization procedure done as an outpatient. The study then follows you after your procedure, asking you to complete questionnaires about your pain levels, medication use, and quality of life at different time points. You'll answer questions using standardized pain rating scales to help researchers understand whether the procedure actually helped reduce your symptoms and your need for pain medications.
