Condition: Pain Management · Thoracic Trauma · Pulmonary Function · Sponsor: Lviv National Medical University
This study is a multicenter clinical trial conducted in Vinnytsia, Rivne, and Lviv, Ukraine, focusing on the management of acute pain following thoracic injuries sustained during combat. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety of two minimally invasive procedures, cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation, in controlling severe chest pain and improving patients' recovery. Cryoablation involves applying extreme cold to specific intercostal nerves to reduce pain signals, while radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to achieve a similar effect. Both procedures target the nerves responsible for transmitting pain from the injured areas and are performed by experienced clinicians under careful monitoring to minimize risks. Adult patients who have experienced thoracic combat trauma and are experiencing moderate to severe pain may be eligible to participate in the study if they are able to provide informed consent and comply with the study procedures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cryoablation or radiofrequency ablation. Pain intensity will be assessed before the procedure, and then again at four, twenty-four, and seventy-two hours afterward using a standardized verbal numeric rating scale. In addition to measuring changes in pain, the study will monitor opioid medication use to determine whether either procedure reduces the need for pain-relieving drugs. Mechanical pain sensitivity will be evaluated using …
