Nerve Freezing for Combat Amputation Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You lost a limb due to combat-related injury
- You have had chronic nerve pain (neuroma pain) for at least 3 months
- Your pain is at least 4 out of 10 in intensity
- Your painful nerve has been confirmed by ultrasound
- You have been on a stable pain medication routine for at least 2 weeks
- You have not had prior freezing treatment or nerve surgery on this site within the last 3 months

This study tests a procedure to treat pain from nerve damage (neuroma) after a combat injury. It aims to help people with moderate to severe pain that comes from a specific nerve.
This trial tests two ways of injecting botulinum toxin (a medication that relaxes muscles and reduces nerve pain) directly into painful nerve tissue that forms after combat-related amputation. The goal is to find which injection technique works better for chronic neuroma pain—the painful scar tissue that can develop at amputation sites.
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.
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 compares two ways to treat Morton’s neuroma pain: freezing treatment (cryoablation) versus steroid plus lidocaine injections. It may help people who didn’t improve after trying basic shoe inserts or padding, by seeing which approach works better for symptoms.
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.
