Frozen nerves could slash Post-Surgery pain

NCT ID NCT05110989

First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at a procedure called cryoanalgesia, where doctors freeze certain nerves in the chest during heart or lung surgery to reduce pain afterward. Researchers will track up to 5,000 patients aged 12 and older for up to 5 years to see how well it works and if it is safe. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain after surgery without relying heavily on strong painkillers.
