Could freezing nerves end phantom pain?
NCT ID NCT06071715
Summary
This small, completed pilot study tested whether freezing the nerves in the thigh (a procedure called cryoneurolysis) could provide long-term relief for phantom limb pain. Twelve adults with above-knee amputations and daily phantom pain were randomly assigned to receive either the real freezing treatment or a sham (fake) procedure. The goal was to see if blocking pain signals for several months could 'reset' the brain and provide lasting pain relief.
