Combined Cryotherapy With Compression Versus Cryotherapy Alone After Orthopaedic Surgery (NCT05011084)

Randomized Control Trial of Combined Cryotherapy With Compression Versus Cryotherapy Alone After Orthopaedic Surgery

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Cryotherapy has been used to enhance recovery after orthopaedic surgery. Many devices are available but few can guarantee a temperature regulation during a prolonged time and therefore have been criticized. The arrival of new advanced cryotherapy devices made it possible to test the effect of prolonged cooling on rehabilitation after arthroscopic orthopaedic procedures.
