Summary
This study tests a device called VibraCool that uses cooling and vibration to reduce pain after ACL knee surgery. The goal is to see if it can lower pain scores and help people stop taking opioid pain pills sooner. About 130 adults who had ACL reconstruction will use the device and report their pain and medication use for the first week after surgery.
