NCT ID NCT06533904
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called cryoablation, which uses cold to temporarily freeze nerves around broken ribs, aiming to reduce pain and improve breathing. About 30 adults with multiple rib fractures and severe pain will be randomly assigned to receive either cryoablation plus standard pain care or standard care alone. Researchers will track pain scores, lung function, and quality of life over time to see if the freezing technique leads to faster recovery.
