Percutaneous cryoneurolysis is thus still in use although the clinical evidence is lacking. We present a randomized, controlled study to assess the clinical efficacy of cryoneurolysis compared with a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic. <p> <p>Methods - In a university-based ...

    • Diagnostic accuracy of the 5.07 monofilament test for diabetes polyneuropathy: influence of age, sex, neuropathic pain and neuropathy severity 

      Dunker, Øystein; Uglem, Martin; Kvaløy, Marie Bu; Løseth, Sissel; Hjelland, Ina Elen; Allen, Sara Maria; Vigeland, Maria Dehli; Kleggetveit, Inge Petter; Sand, Trond Halfdan; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-20)
