Cryoneurolysis is a pain relief procedure that involves applying extreme cold to nerves to temporarily disrupt their ability to transmit pain signals. Join Dr. Alexa Levey as she details the advantages of cryoneurolysis in pain management over more traditional methods like radiofrequency ablation.

Cryoablation of the stellate ganglion has emerged as a treatment option for various conditions characterized by autonomic dysregulation, including refractory ventricular tachycardia, PTSD, and long COVID. Interventional radiologist Dr. Alexa Levey explains the role of this new therapy and how to do it.
