Description
Blocking tiny abnormal blood vessels through an artery to ease long-lasting shoulder pain is reviewed in a 2026 narrative article led by Nicolò Ubaldi. Conditions from frozen shoulder to tendon pain and muscle pain share inflammation and new vessel growth that can feed pain signals, and many patients stay sore after standard care.
Transarterial embolization aims to shut those vessels down while sparing the joint itself, using materials that range from antibiotic particles to calibrated microspheres. Reports in frozen shoulder describe strong pain relief and better movement with few side effects, and tendon and muscle cases show similar gains in the papers surveyed. Safety looks favorable overall, though the authors flag antibiotic resistance worries and call for firmer trial evidence before wide use.
