NCT ID NCT06533904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a procedure that freezes the nerves around broken ribs to see if it reduces pain and helps people breathe better. About 30 adults with at least two broken ribs and severe pain will either get the freezing treatment or standard pain medicine. Researchers will track pain scores, breathing tests, and recovery over time.
