Cryo NerVe Block Extremity AmputatioN RegIStry for Post Operative and pHantom Limb Pain (VANISH)

What this Trial Is About

This observational registry studies how AtriCure devices are used to freeze nerves during limb amputation procedures. The focus is on gathering real-world safety and performance information about cryoablation, a technique that applies extreme cold to nerves to temporarily block sensation, which may help manage post-operative and phantom limb pain. Participants include adults who have had or will have an amputation. The registry observes patients undergoing amputation procedures where cryoablation devices are used on nerves. Cryoablation involves applying very cold temperatures to nerves to cause reversible nerve injury, blocking nerve signals temporarily until nerve function recovers over weeks to months. The study collects data during and after the procedure without assigning specific treatments. Participants provide informed consent and are followed for at least 30 days to assess safety and how the device performs. Researchers collect information on nerve freezing during the amputation, monitor outcomes related to pain, and evaluate any side effects or complications. Data collection focuses on real-world use, with no experimental treatment assignments, and participation duration varies based on the timing of the procedure and follow-up.
