Freezing nerves to ease pain after chest surgery
NCT ID NCT05731973
Summary
This study tested a new pain control method for teens and young adults (ages 12-24) having surgery to correct a sunken chest (pectus excavatum). It compared freezing the nerves between the ribs (cryoablation) to the standard pain medication method (epidural) to see which helped patients leave the hospital sooner. The main goal was to see if the new method reduced the length of the hospital stay after surgery.
