The study followed patients at five academic centers, where physicians treated 128 lesions in 92 patients using the STAR Tumor Ablation System.

 

The average pain score before the procedure was 7.51 out of 10. Within one week post-procedure, the average pain score was reduced to just 1.73. Researchers also noted no patient complications or injuries.

 

The study was published in the July/August issue of Pain Physician Journal, the official peer-reviewed publication of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians.
