What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The researchers will compare the common methods of post-surgical pain control, such as epidural or intercostal nerve block with a newer method called cryoablation. The research team is conducting this study to determine if cryoablation provides more effective pain control when compared to an epidural or intercostal nerve block.
