Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cryoanalgesia to Treat Phantom Limb Pain Following Above-Knee Amputation (NCT NCT06071715)

NCT ID: NCT06071715

Last Updated: 2026-04-08

Results Overview

The "average" pain level measured using the numeric rating scale for the previous 24 hours. This is a 0-10 Likert scale measuring pain level with 0=no pain and 10=worst imaginable pain. The primary outcome will be the change from baseline in average pain intensity as measured with the numeric rating scale 1 month following the initial intervention.

Cryoneurolysis Only Treatment
Cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with an active probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). For active treatment, the gas will be deployed to the probe tip where a drop in temperature will result in cryoneurolysis.
Sham Comparator Only
Sham cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost period with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with a sham probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). However, for sham treatment, the gas is NOT deployed to the probe tip and therefore there is NO drop in temperature with NO resulting cryoneurolysis.
Sham Comparator First, Then Active Cryoneurolysis Treatment
Initial treatment: Sham cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost period with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with a sham probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). However, for sham treatment, the gas is NOT deployed to the probe tip and therefore there is NO drop in temperature with NO resulting cryoneurolysis. Active crossover treatment: Cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost period with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with an active probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). For active treatment, the gas will be deployed to the probe tip where a drop in temperature will result in cryoneurolysis.

The "worst" phantom pain level measured using the numeric rating scale for the previous 24 hours. This is a 0-10 Likert scale measuring pain level with 0=no pain and 10=worst imaginable pain. For this outcome, data is for the time period after the CROSSOVER treatment.

Cryoneurolysis Only (no Sham Crossover)
n=4 Participants
Cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with an active probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). For active treatment, the gas will be deployed to the probe tip where a drop in temperature will result in cryoneurolysis.
Sham Only (no Active Crossover)
Sham cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost period with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with a sham probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). However, for sham treatment, the gas is NOT deployed to the probe tip and therefore there is NO drop in temperature with NO resulting cryoneurolysis.

Cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with an active probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed). For active treatment, the gas will be deployed to the probe tip where a drop in temperature will result in cryoneurolysis.
Sham Only (no Active Crossover)
Sham cryoneurolysis of the major nerves of the thigh in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 1 cycle of 5.5-minute argon activation followed by a 30-60 second defrost period with helium (Varian) or 2 cycles of 2-minute gas activation with a sham probe separated by a 30-60 second defrost (Epimed).

This measure is a 7-point ordinal scale requiring the subject to rate the current severity of their global situation as it relates to phantom limb pain (as defined by each individual) compared to their baseline. This scale has the words "very much worse" to the left by the number one, and "very much improved" to the right, adjacent to the number seven. The words "no change" are in the middle of the scale above the number four.

The Brief pain Inventory (short form) is an instrument specifically designed to assess pain and its impact on physical and emotional functioning. The Brief Pain Inventory's interference sub-scale includes 7 questions involving physical and emotional functioning using a 0-10 Likert scale \[0=no interference;10=complete interference\]: general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep and enjoyment of life. The minimum value of 0 (better with no interference) and maximum value of 70 (worse with maximum interference).
