Cryoneurolysis in Patients with Refractory Chronic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoneurolysis in patients with refractory peripheral neuropathic pain. ⋯ Cryoneurolysis caused a significant decrease in self-reported pain scores in patients with chronic refractory neuropathic pain, with moderately long-term relief. Cryoneurolysis is an additional therapy that can alleviate severe chronic neuropathic pain.
