Summary
This study tests a procedure called cryoablation, which uses cold to temporarily freeze nerves around broken ribs. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and helps people breathe easier after a rib injury. About 30 adults with at least two broken ribs will be randomly assigned to get either the freezing treatment or standard pain medicine. Researchers will track pain scores, breathing tests, and recovery over time.
