About This Trial
Transarterial microembolization (TAME) is a novel treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal pain, especially suitable for patients who have not responded to conservative treatment or are unsuitable for surgical procedures. This minimally invasive technique primarily targets abnormal neovascularization for embolization, relying heavily on precise information provided by various imaging technique…
