Learning Objectives:

  • Identify relevant sonoanatomy for ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis and peripheral nerve stimulation in acute pain management.
  • Understand the physiological mechanisms, indications, and contraindications of cryoneurolysis and PNS for acute pain.
  • Demonstrate proper ultrasound-guided needle placement techniques for percutaneous cryoneurolysis and PNS lead insertion
  • Develop technical proficiency in optimizing probe positioning, image acquisition, and procedural execution.
  • Discuss strategies for integrating cryoneurolysis and PNS into multimodal acute pain management protocols
