Percutaneous Image-Guided Cryoneurolysis
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this article is to review the available evidence regarding image-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis, with a focus on indications, technique, efficacy, and potential complications.
Conclusion: Percutaneous image-guided cryoneurolysis is safe and effective for the management of several well-described syndromes involving neuropathic pain. Additional rigorous prospective study is warranted to further define the efficacy and specific role of these interventions.
Keywords: cryoneurolysis; interventional pain management; nerve cryoablation.
