The recipient of a doctor of podiatric medicine from the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University in Illinois, Dr. Deo Rampertab is a former clinical assistant professor at Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Deo Rampertab has successfully developed and perfected ultrasound-guided cryoanalgesia (UltraCryo) as a minimally invasive treatment procedure for chronic and acute pain.
Also known as cryoneuroablation or cryoneurolysis, cryoanalgesia is a pain-relieving procedure that makes use of cold temperatures in treating nerve pain. While it is currently a medical procedure used in health care facilities, the principle behind cryoanalgesia has been around for centuries. In the past, people made use of snow to numb nerves and quell related pain. The more complex cryoanalgesia procedure practiced today involves the use of a tiny needle-like probe to deliver a very cold sensation through the use of cold compounds like liquid nitrogen to targeted nerves, thereby depriving the nerves of their capacity to send pain signals.
During modern cryoanalgesia procedures, doctors target the specific nerves to numb with high precision by using fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or a nerve stimulator. During the process, care must be taken to prevent lesions in areas close to large blood vessels.
Because it can be used to target a wide category of nerves, including many peripheral nerves, cryoanalgesia is used in treating certain types of headaches, back pain, pain due to scarring, and post-surgical pain.
