Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
A Reduction in Either Pain Frequency or Severity Associated With Occipital Neuralgia.
Improvement of pain due to occipital neuralgia as measured on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain at Days 7 and 30 as compared to baseline (Day 0). 0= no pain, 10= worst pain imaginable. Higher scores equal worse outcome.
Baseline to Day 7, Baseline to Day 30
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Duration of Treatment
Day 30, Day 56
Study Arms (1)
Treatment
EXPERIMENTALStudy treatment with Cryo-Touch III device at Day 0.
Interventions
Device: Cryo-Touch III Study treatment at Day 0.

- A confirmed diagnosis of occipital neuralgia (unilateral or bilateral) .
- Any medication must be maintained on a stable schedule for at least two weeks prior to treatment. No washout period is allowed.
- Must have an average score for pain of ≥ 4/10 Visual Analog Scale (VAS) over the last 7 days.
- Subject is willing and able to give written informed consent and able to comply with study instructions.
You may not qualify if:
- Current diagnosis of fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, or chronic migraines.
- Any injections intended for pain relief or neuromodulation to the upper trunk or head within the last 3 months.
- History of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), head trauma, stroke, or bone deformity.
- Patient who has severe pain for any reason other than occipital neuralgia.
- Any use of (i.e. oral, topical, inhaled and/or injected) anesthetics or steroids within the last 30 days.
- Any previous surgery in the intended treatment area.
- Currently enrolled in any other investigational drug or device study or participation within the last 30 days.
- Any clotting disorder and/or use of any anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel, etc.) within seven (7) days prior to administration of the treatment.
- Allergy or intolerance to any preparatory treatment agent or any other substance utilized within the study.
- Any local skin condition at the treatment site that would adversely affect treatment or subject safety.
- Any confounding diagnosis or medical condition that in the investigator's opinion would adversely affect study participation or subject safety.
- Any chronic medication use (prescription, over-the-counter, supplements, etc.) that in the investigator's opinion would adversely affect study participation or subject safety.
