Summary
This study tests a device called RELAY that delivers both local anesthetic and mild electrical pulses to nerves after shoulder or foot surgery. The goal is to provide up to 28 days of pain relief, much longer than current options. About 50 adults undergoing specific surgeries will be enrolled. The device is compared to a sham (fake) treatment to see if it reduces pain and the need for opioids.
