Could a 5-Minute freeze end months of Post-Surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT05444361
Summary
This study is testing if temporarily freezing specific nerves near the ribs can provide long-lasting pain relief after breast removal surgery (mastectomy). The goal is to see if this single, non-addictive procedure can reduce both short-term pain and the need for opioid painkillers, and possibly prevent long-term pain. It involves 216 participants across multiple US medical centers who will receive either the real nerve-freezing treatment or a placebo procedure, in addition to their usual post-surgery pain care.
