Efficacy of cryoneurolysis versus intra-articular steroid in sacroiliac joint pain: A retrospective, case-control study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2023
Background and Aims: Intra-articular steroids provide significant pain relief in sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP), but their action is short-lived. Cryoneurolysis is reported to produce prolonged pain relief in various pain conditions.

Pain management in cancer surgery: Global inequities and strategies to address them

Journal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 128, Issue 6, Page 1032-1037, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Among patients undergoing surgical oncologic operations, patients in low‐ and middle‐income countries are at particularly high risk for inadequate perioperative analgesia. This article reviews some of the guiding pillars of pain management for cancer surgery, including use of regional analgesia and acute pain service consultation, multimodal ...

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis providing postoperative analgesia lasting many weeks following a single administration: a replacement for continuous peripheral nerve blocks?: a case report [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2017
Cryoneurolysis entails using low temperatures to reversibly ablate nerves, with a subsequent analgesia duration measured in weeks or months. Previously, clinical applications for acute pain were limited because treatment originally required exposing the ...

Cryoneurolysis of alveolar nerves for chronic dental pain: A new technique and a case series

Pain Practice, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 851-854, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Chronic neuropathic dental pain has a poor prognosis with a low chance of significant spontaneous improvement. Local or oral therapies may be efficient, however short in terms of duration with potential side effects. Cryoneurolysis has been described to prevent acute postoperative pain or to treat some chronic pain conditions ...

Cryoneurolysis of auriculotemporal nerve for treatment of otalgia. [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep
Otalgia in adults is often secondary to non-otologic pathology, particularly with normal otoscopic examination. Auriculotemporal neuralgia (ATN) is a rare and overlooked cause of secondary otalgia. We present a case of an Army veteran with chronic right otalgia and dizziness following blast-related mild traumatic brain injury who was initially ...

A modern multimodal pain protocol eliminates the need for opioids for most patients following total knee arthroplasty: results from a retrospective comparative cohort study

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 10, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Abstract Purpose Modern multimodal analgesia has been shown to significantly reduce opioid use following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study was conducted to determine if changing TKA discharge opioid prescriptions from automatic to upon request resulted in more opioid free recoveries without compromising pain control.

Motor‐Sparing Neural Ablation with Modified Techniques for Knee Pain: Case Series on Knee Osteoarthritis and Updated Review of the Underlying Anatomy and Available Techniques

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is ubiquitous. However, effective pain managements for patients with grades 3 or 4 KOA for whom conservative treatments are unsuccessful, but for whom surgery is not an option, remain lacking. This case series presented two motor‐sparing interventional pain treatment modalities for five such patients.

Focused Ultrasound (FUS) for Chronic Pain Management: Approved and Potential Applications

Neurology Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Chronic pain is one of the leading causes of disability and disease burden worldwide, accounting for a prevalence between 6.9% and 10% in the general population. Pharmacotherapy alone results ineffective in about 70‐60% of patients in terms of a satisfactory degree of pain relief.
