Cryoanalgesia is a therapeutic method based on the temporary interruption of sensory functions in selected structures of the nervous system by application of low temperature.
It uses the process of analgesia, during which the ice crystals destroy the elements of the nerve tissue carrying pain information.
A nerve block involves injecting an anesthetic near a specific nerve to temporarily relieve pain and can be used diagnostically to find the pain source. Nerve ablation, such as radiofrequency ablation, uses heat to destroy nerve tissue for longer-lasting pain relief, often following a diagnostic nerve block.
The side effects of cryotherapy are typically mild and not serious. The most common ones include temporary numbness, tingling, redness, and skin irritation. If these effects persist beyond 24 hours, it is recommended to consult your doctor for further evaluation.
