Percutaneous Cryoablation of Intercostal Nerves for the Treatment of Rib Fractures
NCT06533904
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
The goal of this double blinded randomized control trial is to learn if percutaneous cryoablation of traumatic rib fractures improves outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does percutaneous cryoablation improve short and long term pain scores? Does percutaneous cryoablation improve short and long term respiratory mechanics? Does percutaneous cryoablation improve long term quality of life? Does percutaneous cryoablation decrease delirium? Researchers will compare cryoablation to standard multimodal pain therapy to see if this impacts respiratory recovery.
