Tourniquet therapy tested for speedy shoulder recovery

NCT ID NCT06223373

Summary

This study aimed to see if a therapy called blood flow restriction (BFR) could help people recover faster from a recent shoulder injury. BFR involves wearing a special pressurized cuff on the arm during light rehab exercises to try and prevent muscle loss. The trial was very small and ended early, so it did not produce final results on whether the therapy effectively improved strength, reduced pain, or helped people return to normal activity.
