Freezing rib nerves before chest-wall repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests how the timing of a nerve-freezing procedure (cryoneurolysis) in the ribs affects recovery from pectus excavatum surgery. It may help reduce pain after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be about to have pectus excavatum surgery (chest wall repair).
- You must be receiving a nerve-freezing treatment in your ribs right before the surgery.
- You must be able to sign a consent form agreeing to take part.

This trial tests a freezing technique applied to a nerve during minimally invasive chest wall surgery (Nuss procedure) to help reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to see if this approach helps children recover with less pain medication.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after pectus excavatum surgery: freezing the nerves during surgery (cryoanalgesia) versus an epidural block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares how well one minute of freezing (cryoanalgesia) works versus two minutes to control pain after Nuss surgery for pectus excavatum. It will help find the best way to freeze nerves to reduce pain after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after the Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. One uses a special catheter that numbs nerves, the other freezes them. The goal is to see which works better for teens and young adults.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after a minimally invasive surgery to fix a sunken chest. It aims to see which block works better for recovery.
This study checks the long-term safety of a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to temporarily numb certain nerves before surgery to fix a sunken chest (pectus excavatum). It may be for people who already had this treatment.
