Gentle motion machine may cut painkiller use after broken leg surgery

NCT ID NCT04389749

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether using a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine after surgery for certain leg fractures helps reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. About 100 adults who have had surgery for a broken hip, thigh, or shin bone will be split into two groups: one that uses the CPM machine and one that does not. Researchers will track pain scores and medication use during the hospital stay to see if the machine makes a difference.
