First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a pain-relief method called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to temporarily freeze nerves, for people waiting months for hip or knee replacement surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers, which can be risky if used long-term. Researchers will enroll 30 adults who are already scheduled for surgery and taking daily opioids.
