New study tests freezing vs heating nerves to stop war wound pain

This study in Ukraine compares two minimally invasive procedures—cryoablation (freezing) and radiofrequency ablation (heating)—to treat nerve pain caused by neuromas from combat injuries. Fifty adults with moderate to severe pain will be randomly assigned to one treatment. The goal is to see which method better reduces pain, improves function, and lowers the need for painkillers.
