Cryoplasty

What is This Treatment?

Cryoplasty (cryoablation) is a treatment method that stops pain-transmitting nerve fibers by using extreme cold (-60°C to -80°C). It provides pain control in spinal pain and bone metastases.

Benefits

• Effective pain control
• Tissue-preserving method
• Less nerve damage compared to RF
• Repeatable treatment

Treatment Process

Under CT or fluoroscopy guidance, a cryoprobe is placed at the target area. Rapid cooling using argon gas freezes the target nerve or tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
