Summary
This study tests whether using cold therapy with compression (like a cold wrap that squeezes) works better than cold therapy alone for managing pain after knee, shoulder, or hip surgery. About 348 adults will use one of the two methods and report their pain levels and medication use. The goal is to see if the combination helps people recover more comfortably.
