AB  - Cryoneuroablation  is  an  interventional  technique  aimed  at  temporary  destruction  of  the  nerve  providing  relief  of  the  pain.  The  origin  of  this  technique  lies  in  the  ancient  time  but  modern  cryoanalgesia  traces  its  roots  to  Cooper  et  al.1  In  1962,  they  developed  a  device  that  used  liquid  nitrogen  circulating  through  a  hollow  tube,  insulated  except  at  the  tip,  to  achieve  a  tip  temperature  of  −196,°C.  Amoils,2  an  ophthalmic  surgeon,  developed  a  simpler  handheld  device  in  1967,  which  used  high-pressure  carbon  dioxide  or  nitrous  oxide  and  could  achieve  temperatures  of  −70°C.  Lloyd  et  al3  coined  the  term  “cryoanalgesia”  for  its  use  in  pain  management.  They  proposed  that  this  technique  was  superior  to  other  methods  of  peripheral  nerve  destruction,  for  example,  alcohol,  phenol,  or  surgical  lesions,  because  it  is  not  followed  by  neuritis  or  neuralgia.
