Freezing nerves during rib surgery could slash pain and opioid use
NCT ID NCT05415384
Summary
This study is testing whether freezing specific nerves during rib fracture surgery helps patients experience less pain and need fewer opioid painkillers afterward. Researchers will compare patients who receive this nerve-freezing procedure (called cryoablation) during surgery to those who receive standard surgery alone. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better pain control, shorter hospital stays, and improved recovery for people with multiple broken ribs.
