Nerve block response and cryoneurolysis for chronic pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have chronic pain that has lasted more than 3 months and is at least a 5 on a 0-10 pain scale, OR you have painful or movement-limiting muscle tightness (spasticity).
- Your condition has been stable for more than 3 months.
- You are on a stable medication schedule (no changes planned).
- You can understand study instructions in French or Dutch and give written consent.

This study is testing a treatment called a cryo nerve block to reduce pain after amputation, including phantom limb pain. It will look at whether freezing the nerve during surgery helps people feel less pain and use less pain medicine.
This trial tests two types of nerve-freezing procedures to treat chronic pain in amputated limbs from combat injuries. The goal is to reduce your pain using a minimally invasive technique called cryoablation.
This study watches how well a freezing procedure works for chronic pain over 6 to 12 months. Your doctor thinks this procedure could help your pain, and the study simply tracks your recovery through questionnaires to help doctors understand if it works.
This study tests if freezing specific nerves (cryoneurolysis) can reduce pain caused by muscle tightness (spasticity) after a brain or spinal cord injury, or from multiple sclerosis. It is for people who already get Botox injections for this pain.
This study compares two procedures to treat long-term low back pain from the small joints in your spine. One uses extreme cold, the other uses heat to stop pain signals. It may help if you have had at least three months of back pain and other treatments haven't worked.
This study tests a new way to treat chronic pain by freezing specific nerves under imaging guidance. The goal is to see if this reduces pain and improves quality of life.
