New cold therapy could cut opioid use after shoulder surgery
NCT ID NCT05095909
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special cold compression machine works better than regular ice packs for pain and swelling after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. About 100 adults having this shoulder surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two cooling methods. The goal is to see if the device improves pain control, reduces swelling, and lowers the need for opioid painkillers.
