Occipital cryoneurolysis is a procedure used to treat nerve pain generated by peripheral nerves (nerves located outside of the spinal column and skull) commonly due to the condition occipital neuralgia. [1] A probe (no larger than a small needle) is carefully placed adjacent to the specific nerve.
A study on occipital neuralgia in 2017 found that there was not enough data to make a determination. [47] A study on Meralgia Paraesthetica found higher success rates for nerve resection and that most patients were not bothered by numbness following the procedure.
In most cases, a trial (test) lead placement is performed in order to assess whether the stimulation will work as expected. [8] Local anesthetic is applied to the back of the neck and a Tuohy needle is advanced towards the location of the greater occipital nerve and lesser occipital nerve under fluoroscopic guidance.
