Freezing nerves to ease heart surgery pain

NCT ID NCT06443931

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether freezing specific chest nerves (cryoablation) during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery could help manage pain afterward. The goal was to see if this technique reduced patients' need for strong opioid painkillers and lowered their pain scores in the days following surgery. The results were intended to help plan a larger future study on this pain management method.
