Newer Technologies For Pain Relief: Freezing Of Nerves (Cryoablation)

Dr. Amod Manocha14 Jun, 2024Health

Imagine being able to freeze nerves to minus 80 degrees Celsius to manage pain. This isn?t science fiction; it?s a reality with cryoablation. The term "cryoablation" breaks down to "cryo" meaning cold and "ablation" meaning destruction. This innovative, minimally invasive technique uses extreme cold to temporarily disable nerve function and reduce pain. Cryoablation interrupts pain signals transmitted to the brain, providing an alternative to traditional nerve destruction methods like alcohol neurolysis or surgery, in certain situations. Acute and Post-Surgery Pain: Used for pain associated with surgeries such as hernia repair, rib fractures, thoracotomy (chest surgery), mastectomy (breast surgery), shoulder surgery, and knee replacement surgery. Musculoskeletal pain such as shoulder or knee pain secondary to arthritis. Shoulder pain Knee pain #Cryoablationtreatment #PainSpecialistinDelhi
