Article Summary
Chronic problems like plantar fasciitis and scapular pain that never seem to go away may finally be solved once and for all with the new “simplified TAME”! For chronic pain such as plantar fasciitis and scapular pain, traditional treatments have limited effectiveness; now, the new simplified TAME therapy may help improve patients’ quality of life.
1. More precise than the traditional version, and faster to treat! “Simplified TAME” improves 80% of cases after two treatments
Simplified TAME (Simplified TAME) is a treatment method that directly selects the target artery, injects embolic medication, and blocks abnormal blood flow in the vessels. Compared with traditional TAME, simplified TAME offers several advantages:
More convenient and faster. The treatment process becomes more convenient, faster, and less invasive. Because there is no need to place a catheter in the artery, the risk of infection and complications is reduced. It can usually be done in an outpatient setting, after which patients can go home, making the treatment simpler and quicker.
Minimally invasive, precise treatment. Simplified TAME can enhance treatment accuracy through a minimally invasive approach. Since steps such as arterial puncture or catheter placement are not needed, pain during injection and the time required to stop bleeding after the procedure are reduced. It is not only more comfortable and safer, but also greatly decreases the discomfort patients experience during surgery.
Suitable for various body parts. Simplified TAME is applicable to extremities such as fingers, wrists, and ankles. In 2024, Dr. Okuno also developed a simplified version of TAME for scapular pain, allowing patients who were previously reluctant to undergo the traditional standard treatment to benefit as well.
For “chronic issues” that often recur, such as plantar fasciitis and degenerative finger joint swelling, simplified TAME can also provide good treatment results. For example, it can perform embolization on abnormal neovascularization in areas affected by plantar fasciitis and reduce pain; in patients with long-term deformity and finger pain, after simplified TAME treatment, two sessions may improve 80% of the condition.

2. Simplified TAME can be completed in the outpatient clinic; surgical patients share: “This area” feels dramatically better
Simplified TAME can directly select the target artery and inject embolic medication to block blood flow in abnormal vessels. The advantage of this method is that it can precisely locate the lesion and embolize abnormal newly formed blood vessels, thereby reducing pain and inflammatory responses. Compared with traditional treatment methods such as medication or rehabilitation, simplified TAME can address the root cause more directly, while also helping avoid heavy use of steroids.
Another advantage of simplified TAME is that it helps the affected area recover in less time. The recovery period for standard TAME is one week, while simplified TAME can relieve pain noticeably on the same day. Patients who have received the treatment say that after simplified TAME, pain in the affected area is significantly improved, with the effect being especially noticeable in large joints.
In addition to its remarkable treatment effects, the safety and convenience of simplified TAME are also important factors attracting patients. Because there is no need for catheter placement or arterial puncture, the risk of infection and complications can be reduced. In addition, simplified TAME is expected to greatly reduce pain during injection and the time needed to stop bleeding after the procedure. Patients can usually return home to rest after outpatient surgery.

3. Simplified TAME combined with rehabilitation treatment works even better together
If appropriate rehabilitation treatment is combined after simplified TAME, the recovery outcome is even better. Rehabilitation treatment can help patients regain joint mobility and strengthen muscle power, thereby reinforcing the treatment effect and preventing recurrence of pain. Therefore, after receiving simplified TAME treatment, patients should actively follow their doctor’s advice and perform appropriate rehabilitation exercises to achieve the best therapeutic results.
Overall, simplified TAME provides patients with chronic pain a more convenient, safer, and more effective treatment option. Through precise vascular embolization technology, simplified TAME can directly address the source of pain and reduce pain and inflammatory responses. In addition, its minimally invasive and fast nature greatly improves convenience for patients. For those who have long been troubled by chronic pain, simplified TAME is undoubtedly a new option worth considering.
