Registry to Study Use of AtriCure Cryoablation Device During Limb Amputation for Post-Operative and Phantom Limb Pain

What this Trial Is About

This registry study focuses on patients undergoing extremity amputation procedures to observe how a device is used to freeze nerves during surgery. The purpose is to collect real-world information on the safety and performance of the AtriCure device when applied for nerve cryoablation, a technique that uses extreme cold to temporarily block nerve signals to manage pain, including phantom limb pain. Participants include those who have had or will have an amputation procedure. The study observes the use of cryoablation devices during surgery, which involves applying very cold temperatures to nerves to induce a temporary conduction block. This reversible nerve injury typically lasts weeks to months until nerve sensation is restored. During the study, participants experiences and outcomes are recorded for 30 days post-procedure as the primary outcome measure. Researchers monitor safety and performance data related to the device and nerve freezing treatment. The study runs from April 2025 to April 2035, during which participants provide consent and are followed to assess post-operative and phantom limb pain outcomes.
