Long-term safety of a freezing nerve block before pectus surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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.
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 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 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.
