Trans-arterial micro-embolization(TAME) for refractory wrist and finger pain

Improvements in our comprehension of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal disorders have highlighted the involvement of inappropriate angiogenesis.  

Consequently, emerging treatments for chronic musculoskeletal pain are targeting these newly formed blood vessels, with one such treatment being trans-arterial micro-embolization (TAME), pioneered by Dr. Yuji Okuno. The application of this noninvasive procedure for managing pain that doesn’t respond to standard therapy in various musculoskeletal conditions have been the subject of extensive recent research.  

During this presentation, I will demonstrate the 

application of trans-arterial micro-embolization (TAME) for refractory wrist and finger pain treatment.
