Summary

This study tests whether a device that delivers cold and compression therapy (NICE1) can help people recover better after spinal surgery. About 156 adults having spinal fusion or laminectomy will be randomly assigned to get either the NICE1 device or standard care after their operation. Researchers will measure pain levels, opioid use, hospital stay length, and readmission rates to see if the device makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
NICE1 ice-free cryopneumatic therapy device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to manage pain after spinal surgery, potentially reducing opioid use and shortening hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a single-site, 156-person trial testing a device for short-term post-surgery recovery. Results may not apply to all surgeries or patients, and the device may not significantly outperform standard care.
