NCT ID NCT04713098

Summary

This study tested a non-drug method to control pain after common surgeries like rotator cuff repair or bunion removal. Researchers implanted a tiny wire near a nerve to deliver a mild electrical current, hoping to block pain signals. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce or eliminate the need for opioid painkillers and improve recovery for 250 patients.
