Summary

This study looks at a procedure that freezes certain nerves in the chest to reduce pain after heart or lung surgery. It involves up to 5,000 people aged 12 and older who either get the freezing treatment or standard care. Researchers will track pain levels and any side effects for up to 5 years to see how well and how safely this approach works.
