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 trial tests a procedure called cryoablation that uses extreme cold to numb the nerves between the ribs, which may reduce pain and help you breathe easier after a rib fracture. It targets people with multiple rib fractures and significant pain but without certain other injuries.
This study tests a procedure that freezes nerves during heart surgery to reduce pain after the operation. It may help patients recover with less discomfort and less need for pain medicine.
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 study looks at whether a temporary numbing injection (nerve block) can predict how well a longer-lasting freezing treatment (cryoneurolysis) will relieve chronic pain or muscle tightness. If you're eligible, you'll get the freezing treatment, which may provide longer-term relief.
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.
