Effect of Cryoanalgesia on Post-Thoracotomy Pain [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2011 We prepared this study to determine the effect of cryoanalgesia on post-thoracotomy pain. In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients who underwent thoracotomy were divided into two groups (control and cryoanalgesia).

Case Report: Cryoanalgesia for intractable thoracic pain due to chest wall tumor [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyIntroductionPostoperative pain in thoracic surgery is a major concern, often delaying recovery. Cryoanalgesia, using pressurized nitrous oxide, offers long-term pain relief by temporarily blocking peripheral nerve function.

Postoperative outcomes after off-label cryoanalgesia during minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum in children younger than 12 years [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsBackgroundIntraoperative cryoanalgesia has been widely adopted to reduce postoperative pain, opioid use, and length of stay after minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE). However, its use in children younger than 12 years remains off-label,

Continuous serratus–intercostal plane block versus intercostal cryoanalgesia for postoperative pain after minimally invasive cardiac surgery: a prospective comparative observational study [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Minimally invasive cardiac surgery via minithoracotomy is associated with postoperative pain. Continuous BRILMA (block of the lateral branches of the intercostal nerves in the mid-axillary line) and intercostal cryoanalgesia are opioid-sparing

Reducing treatment time and number of nerves treated fails to improve cryoanalgesia outcomesCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
JTCVS OpenObjective: Cryoanalgesia is an attractive method to improve postoperative pain. However, our randomized trial did not show significant reduction in pain or opioid use in adults undergoing minimally invasive thoracic surgery. We hypothesized that reducing
