Post-Amputation Phantom Limb Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
When a limb is severed, pain perceived in the part of the body that no longer exists often develops and is called phantom limb pain. Unfortunately, phantom pain goes away in only 16% of afflicted individuals, and there is currently no reliable definitive treatment. The exact reason that phantom limb pain occurs is unclear, but when a nerve is cut-as happens with an amputation-changes occur in the brain and spinal cord that actually increase with worsening phantom pain. These abnormal changes may often be corrected by putting local anesthetic-called a nerve block-on the injured nerve, effectively keeping any bad signals from reaching the brain with a simultaneous resolution of the phantom limb pain. However, when the nerve block resolves after a few hours, the phantom pain returns. But, this demonstrates that the brain abnormalities-and phantom pain-that occur with an amputation are not necessarily fixed, and may be dependent upon the bad signals being sent from the injured nerve(s), suggesting that a very long peripheral nerve block-lasting many months rather than hours-may permanently reverse the abnormal changes in the brain, and provide definitive relief from phantom pain. A prolonged nerve block lasting a few months may be provided by freezing the nerve using a process called cryoneurolysis. The ultimate objective of the proposed research study is to determine if cryoanalgesia is an effective treatment for intractable post-amputation phantom limb pain. The proposed research study will include subjects with an existing lower extremity amputation who experience intractable daily phantom limb pain. A single ultrasound-guided treatment of cryoneurolysis (or sham block-determined randomly like a flip of a coin) will be applied to the target nerve(s) involved with the phantom pain. Although not required, each subject may return four months later for the alternative treatment (if the first treatment is sham, then the second treatment would be cryoneurolysis) so that all participants have the option of receiving the active treatment. Subjects will be followed for a total of 12 months with data collected by telephone.
Detailed description
Subjects will be asked to make no changes to their analgesic regimen for at least 1 month prior to the cryoneurolysis procedure and continuing for 4 months until the measurement of the primary end point-for the duration of the study, all patients will be allowed to continue their pre-intervention analgesics. All subjects will have a peripheral intravenous catheter inserted, standard noninvasive monitors applied, and oxygen administered via a facemask or nasal cannula. Midazolam and fentanyl (IV) will be titrated for patient comfort. The specific nerves targeted will be the sciatic and femoral (or their distal branches). The potential cryoneurolysis sites will be cleansed with chlorhexidine gluconate and isopropyl alcohol. The target nerves will be identified in a transverse cross-sectional (short axis) view using ultrasound. A Tuohy-tip needle will be inserted beneath the ultrasound transducer and directed until the needle tip is immediately adjacent to the target nerve. Local anesthetic (1-3 mL, lidocaine 2%) will be injected. This will be repeated for the femoral nerve. Within 20 minutes of the second injection, the subject's limb pain level will be evaluated on the 0-10 NRS and if higher than at baseline prior to injection, the subject will NOT continue with treatment and their participation in the study will terminate upon discharge. Treatment group assignment (randomization). Remaining subjects will be allocated to one of two possible treatments: 1. cryoneurolysis 2. sham cryoneurolysis (placebo control) Randomization will be computer-generated and stratified by enrolling institution in randomly chosen block sizes. Cryoneurolysis probes are available that either (1) pass nitrous oxide to the tip inducing freezing temperatures; or, (2) vent the nitrous oxide at the base of the probe so that no gas reaches the probe tip, resulting in no temperature change (PainBlocker, Epimed, Farmers Branch, Texas). Importantly, these probes are indistinguishable in appearance. Unmasking will not occur until statistical analysis is complete. Intervention. The potential cryoneurolysis sites will be again cleansed with chlorhexidine gluconate and isopropyl alcohol. With the same ultrasound transducer used to previously administer local anesthetic, the target nerve will again be identified in a transverse cross-sectional (short axis) view at or distal to the deposition of local anesthetic. A cryoneurolysis device (PainBlocker, Epimed, Farmers Branch, Texas) will be inserted with the appropriate randomization-designated probe (either active or sham/placebo) and nitrous oxide. The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 3 cycles of 2-minute gas activation (active or sham) separated by 1-minute defrost periods. The process will be repeated with the same treatment probe for the femoral nerve (e.g., both nerves will receive either active cryoneurolysis or sham/placebo, and not a mix of the two possible treatments). Optional crossover treatment. Four to 6 months following the initial treatment, subjects may return for an optional repeated intervention procedure (crossover) with the alternative treatment (either active cryoneurolysis or sham/placebo), again in a double-masked fashion using the same protocol as described for the initial intervention. The crossover treatment is not required for study participation, as the primary analyses will include a parallel study design for the initial intervention evaluated prior to any crossover treatment. This crossover will not affect the primary analyses, which will involve a parallel group study design and investigate the effects of cryoneurolysis within 4 months of the initial intervention. Outcome measurements (endpoints). The primary end point will be the difference in average daily phantom pain intensity at baseline and 4 months following the initial intervention (measured with the NRS as part of the Brief Pain Inventory). The primary analyses will compare the two treatments (inter-subject comparisons) during the initial treatment period in which half of the subjects will receive active cryoneurolysis and the other half a sham/placebo treatment. Endpoints will be evaluated at baseline and post-treatment (Day 0), Days 1 and 7; and Months 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12. These same time points through Month 4 will be evaluated following the optional second (crossover) treatment. Data collection. The questionnaires for all subjects-regardless of enrolling center-will be administered by telephone from the University of California San Diego by research coordinators specifically trained in these instruments' application, minimizing inter-rater discordance. Staff masked to treatment group assignment will perform all assessments.
Interventions
DEVICECryoneurolysis
Cryoneurolysis of the femoral and sciatic nerves (or their distal counterparts) in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 3 cycles of 2-minute gas activation separated by 1-minute defrost periods. For active probes, the nitrous oxide will be deployed to the tip where a drop in temperature to -70°C will result in cryoneurolysis.
DEVICESham Comparator
Sham cryoneurolysis of the femoral and sciatic nerves (or their distal counterparts) in the residual limb: The cryoneurolysis device will be triggered using 3 cycles of 2-minute gas activation separated by 1-minute defrost periods. However, for sham probes, the nitrous oxide is not deployed to the tip and therefore there is no drop in temperature resulting in cryoneurolysis.

TRIPLE (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Masking description
All individuals will be masked to treatment with the exception of the anesthesiologist administering the procedure who will choose which probe to use: the functional or sham. Of note, this individual could not be masked to treatment since the cryoneurolysis ice ball is visualized on ultrasound; and, the practitioner would see a lack of ice ball formation for the sham probes.
Intervention model description
The primary endpoint at 4 months following the initial treatment will utilize a parallel group study design; however, an optional crossover is offered to subjects following this time point.

Brief Pain Inventory Interference Subscale
The Brief Pain Inventory (interference sub scale) is an instrument that measures the interference with physical and emotional functioning using a 0-10 scale (0 = no interference; 10 = complete interference). The seven interference questions involve general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work activities (both inside and outside of the home), relationships, sleep, and enjoyment of life. The seven functioning questions can be added to produce an interference subscale (0-70). A higher score reveals more interference with physical and emotional functioning. To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment. This is reversed for the other treatment group that received sham initially followed by cryoneurolysis for the crossover treatment.
Time frame: Endpoints will be evaluated at baseline and on Days 1 and 7; and Months 1, 2, 3, and 4 after both the initial and subsequently the crossover treatments; and 12 months after the initial treatment

Patient Global Impression of Change
The Patient Global Impression of Change Scale is a 7-point ordinal scale requiring the subject to rate the current severity of their global situation as it relates to phantom limb pain (as defined by each individual) compared to their baseline. This scale has the words very much worse to the left by the number one, and very much improved to the right, adjacent to the number seven. The words no change are in the middle of the scale above the number four. The Patient Global Impression of Change Scale has been validated in over ten prospective trials, including studies specifically involving peripheral neuropathy To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment.

Residual Limb Pain, Average
Residual limb pain will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale which is a highly-sensitive measure of pain intensity with numbers ranging from 0 to 10, with zero equivalent to no pain and 10 equivalent to the worst imaginable pain. To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment. This is reversed for the other treatment group that received sham initially followed by cryoneurolysis for the crossover treatment.

Residual Limb Pain Duration
Pain that originates from a part of the injured limb that remains intact. The duration is the average number of hours that residual pain was experienced each episode in the previous 72 hours. To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment. This is reversed for the other treatment group that received sham initially followed by cryoneurolysis for the crossover treatment.
Time frame: Endpoints will be evaluated at baseline and on Days 1 and 7; and Months 1, 2, 3, and 4 after both the initial and subsequently the crossover treatments; and 12 months after the initial treatment

Residual Limb Pain Frequency
Pain that originates from a part of the injured limb that remains intact. The frequency is the number of times residual pain is experienced in the previous 72 hours. To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment. This is reversed for the other treatment group that received sham initially followed by cryoneurolysis for the crossover treatment.
Time frame: Endpoints will be evaluated at baseline and on Days 1 and 7; and Months 1, 2, 3, and 4 after both the initial and subsequently the crossover treatments; and 12 months after the initial treatment

Residual Limb Pain, Worst
Residual limb pain will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale which is a highly-sensitive measure of pain intensity with numbers ranging from 0 to 10, with zero equivalent to no pain and 10 equivalent to the worst imaginable pain. The worst pain is the maximum experienced over the previous 72 hours (24 hours for Day 1). To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment. This is reversed for the other treatment group that received sham initially followed by cryoneurolysis for the crossover treatment.
Time frame: Endpoints will be evaluated at baseline and on Days 1 and 7; and Months 1, 2, 3, and 4 after both the initial and subsequently the crossover treatments; and 12 months after the initial treatment

Worst Daily Phantom Pain Intensity
The worst daily phantom pain intensity at between 1 day and 12 months following the initial intervention (measured with the numeric rating scale as part of the Brief Pain Inventory with a minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 10, 0=no pain and 10=worst imaginable pain). The worst pain is the maximum experienced in the previous 72 hour period (except day 1 which is the previous 24 hour period). To read the results: for the group that received cryoneurolysis initially followed by sham for the crossover treatment, initial Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving cryoneurolysis while crossover Days 1 - Month 4 provide the results for those receiving sham treatment. This is reversed for the other treatment group that received sham initially followed by cryoneurolysis for the crossover treatment.
Time frame: Endpoints will be evaluated at baseline and on Days 1 and 7; and Months 1, 2, 3, and 4 after both the initial and subsequently the crossover treatments; and 12 months after the initial treatment
