Utility of Intermittent Cryo-Compression Versus Traditional Icing Following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair (NCT05095909)

🟒 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic βš™οΈ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Allina Health System

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Effective post - operative pain control following orthopedic surgical procedures without excessive reliance upon opioid pain medication has garnered increased attention in recent years. This study will evaluate the utilization of a non-invasive, novel cryo - compression, post-operative modality to improve pain control versus standard ice wraps in the immediate post-operative phase of arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery via a randomized controlled study design. Furthermore, if this study demonstrates improved pain control, improved quality of life and decreased opioid usage with the intermittent cold compression unit, recommendations may be considered for system-wide utilization.
