Cryosurgery in the management of intractable facial pain.

The biological sequelae to the experimental freezing of peripheral nerves have been shown to differ in several respects from those following other types of nerve injury. A clinical application of these effects utilising the extreme low temperature produced by modern cryosurgical equipment is proposed and a preliminary evaluation is made.

Cryoanalgesia. A new approach to pain relief.

Cryotherapy has been clinically applied to relieve pain using a new cryosurgical probe to block peripheral nerve function to achieve analgesia. Sixty-four patients with intractable pain were treated with cryoanalgesia. Fifty-two obtained relief of pain for a median duration of 11 days and a range of up to 224 days.
