Intercostal Nerve Cryotherapy in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Pulmonary Resection
Sponsor: Allegheny Singer Research Institute (also known as Allegheny Health Network Research Institute)
Summary
This is a research study designed to test whether a treatment called Intercostal Nerve Cryotherapy is an effective way to help control post-surgical pain for patients undergoing minimally invasive pulmonary resection. There are two treatment groups in this study, a cryotherapy group and control group. Cryotherapy is a method of controlling pain by freezing nerves between the ribs that would transmit pain impulses to the brain.
