Live healthy and long

Researchers from Stonybrook School of Medicine found a new way of treating pain from neuralgia caused by diabetes and surgery. It is called cryoneurolysis and involves treatment of pain using probes of frozen at 3 degrees Fahrenheit to create freezer burn along the nerve path under the skin blocking nerve path; and allowing the nerves to grow in the future
This mode of treatment may make analgesic obsolete for pain management
The lead resercher for this is Dr. William Moore, medical director of radiology Stony Brook. In a study of 20 patients, they found that the treatment persisted for several months and up to a year after treatment. Others though may require repeat treatment.
The research finding will be presented in Society of Interventional Radiology Scientific Meeting in New Orleans. This will be a boon to some 15 million Americans and European suffering from neuralgia
