Registry study of pain relief after freezing intercostal nerves
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study collects real-world information about how well freezing (cryoablation) of the intercostal nerves helps with pain after a procedure. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 12 or older and can give consent or assent (with guardian approval if needed).
- You are scheduled for, or already had, cryoablation (freezing) of the intercostal nerves, using an AtriCure device (or a similar non-cryo treatment group).
- You are not in another study at the same time that could affect what treatment you receive from these registry devices.
- You meet any additional rules required by your local clinic or governing body.
- If you could become pregnant, you are not currently pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether freezing a nerve (cryoablation) during chest surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It might help patients who are having their first chest surgery and have never used strong painkillers.
This study tests whether freezing the nerves in your chest during heart surgery can reduce pain after the operation. Researchers compare this new technique to standard pain management to see if it helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests a procedure called cryoablation, which freezes the nerves between the ribs to relieve pain from broken ribs. It may help you breathe deeper and feel less pain if you have multiple rib fractures and severe pain.
This trial tests a procedure called intercostal cryoanalgesia, which freezes nerves in the chest to reduce pain after a double lung transplant. It may help you feel less pain and use fewer painkillers after surgery.
This trial tests a freezing technique to numb nerves around the lungs during minimally invasive lung surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery, so you need less pain medication.
This study tests whether a numbing nerve block (injection) can predict if a procedure called cryoneurolysis (freezing a nerve to relieve pain) will work for people with chronic muscle or joint pain or spasticity. It may help you if you have long-lasting pain or muscle tightness.
