Check out the latest CIRSE Library topic package on cryoneurolysis, compiled by Dr. Neil Resnick!

➡️ https://t.ly/bds4R

Percutaneous image-guided cryoneurolysis has emerged as a compelling neuromodulatory intervention with IR positioned to play a key role in its clinical translation. 🗝️

The technique leverages the focal application of extreme cold to induce reversible Wallerian degeneration of peripheral nerves while preserving the scaffold-like endoneurium to permit complete nerve regeneration. The resulting targeted neural activity interruption and opioid-sparing analgesic effects last weeks to months. 🎯
