Résumé

Pain after amputation is often managed by target muscle reinnervation (TMR) with the added benefit that TMR also provides improved myoelectric terminal device control. However, as TMR takes several months for the recipient muscles to reliably reinnervate, this technique does not address pain within the subacute postoperative period during which pain chronification, sensitization, and opioid dependence and misuse may occur. Cryoneurolysis, described herein, uses focused, extreme temperatures to essentially "freeze" the nerve, blocking nociception, and improving pain in treated nerves potentially reducing the chances of pain chronification, sensitization, and substance dependence or abuse.
