Study Summary

The study is a single-center, randomized, participant- and observer-masked, human-subjects, post-market clinical pilot study to investigate the use of ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis to treat diabetic neuropathy of the foot. A prolonged nerve block may be provided by freezing the nerve using a technique called "cryoneurolysis". With cryoneurolysis and ultrasound machines, a small needle-like "probe" may be placed through anesthetized skin and guided to the target nerve to allow freezing. The procedure takes about 6 minutes for each nerve, involves little discomfort, has no systemic side effects, and cannot be misused or become addictive. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two possible treatments groups: cryoneurolysis (experimental) or sham (control). The primary outcome measure is the change in pain on the neuropathic pain scale from baseline 1 month following the procedure.
