NCT ID NCT06347874
First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests if freezing the nerves between the ribs (cryoablation) provides better pain control a week later than a standard numbing catheter placed near the spine. About 48 adults with multiple broken ribs will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see which method leads to lower pain scores and less opioid use.
