Intercostal Cryoanalgesia in Double Lung Transplant Recipients
Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles
Summary
This study is testing a new way to help manage pain after a double lung transplant. Instead of relying only on strong pain medicines like opioids, doctors will use a cold-therapy probe during surgery to help numb the nerves near the incision. Researchers want to see if this method can reduce the need for opioids and improve recovery.
