Nerve Pain Relief During Chest Wall Surgery Recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having minimally invasive chest wall surgery (Nuss procedure) at this hospital's pediatric surgery department
- You and your child are willing to participate in the study
- Your child does not have a condition that would make nerve freezing unsafe

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.
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.
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 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 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.
