Summary

Assessment of pain intensity on the NRS. Assessment of the quality of life by SF-36 and AIS. Diagnostic/prognostic nerve block with 5 ml of 2% lidocaine under real-time ultrasound control with confirmation of the correct position of the needle using a peripheral nerve stimulator. Reassessment of pain intensity on the NRS 30 minutes after local anesthetic block. Cryoablation under real-time ultrasound control if the NRS value is reduced by ≥ 2 points. If pain intensity on the NRS reduced by less than 2 points, reassessment 60 minutes after local anesthetic block. Cryoablation under real-time ultrasound control if the NRS value is reduced by ≥ 2 points. If pain intensity on the NRS reduces by less than 2 points 60 minutes after local anesthetic block cryoablation will not be performed. Cryoablation effect will be evaluated 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months post procedure. * 24 hours after the procedure - assessment of pain intensity and quality of life * 7 days after the procedure - assessment of pain intensity * 30 days after the procedure - assessment of pain intensity and quality of life * 3 months after the procedure - assessment of pain intensity * 6 months after the procedure - assessment of pain intensity and quality of
