Tracking nerve-freezing during limb amputation to learn about post-operative and phantom limb pain

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational registry that collects real-world data on the use of cryoablation (freezing nerves) during upper and lower limb amputations at several hospitals. Investigators will record procedural details, pain measurements, complications, and follow-up outcomes related to post-operative and phantom limb pain. Eligible adults who have or will have an amputation and can provide consent will be enrolled and followed according to the registry protocol. Women who are pregnant or any patient unable to give informed consent or adhere to follow-up are excluded.

Why it matters

* Patients who are willing and capable of providing informed consent;
* Patients whose age is 18 years or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Women of childbearing potential who are, or plan to become, pregnant during the time of the study;
* Other medical, social, or psychological conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator precludes the subject from appropriate consent or adherence to the protocol.
