NCT05011084 · Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 348

Summary

Cryotherapy has been used to enhance recovery after orthopaedic surgery. Many devices are available but few can guarantee a temperature regulation during a prolonged time and therefore have been criticized. The arrival of new advanced cryotherapy devices made it possible to test the effect of prolonged cooling on rehabilitation after arthroscopic orthopaedic procedures.

Conditions

  • Cryotherapy Effect
  • Compression
  • Postoperative Pain Management

Interventions

DEVICE

Game Ready Cryotherapy with Compression Group

Instead of using the traditional ice-pack cryotherapy (without compression), patients randomized into this group will use the Game Ready device, which uses cryotherapy with compression, during their post-operative treatment care.

OTHER

Control Cryotherapy Group

Patients randomized to the control group will use the standard of care, which is using traditional cryotherapy (i.e., an ice pack without compression)
