Role of peripheral nerve stimulation and percutaneous cryoneurolysis in preventing chronic postsurgical pain
Authors' conclusion
This review describes percutaneous cryoneurolysis and peripheral nerve stimulation for perioperative analgesia as well as the available evidence supporting their use to prevent persistent postsurgical pain.
