Cold therapy for pain after knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a cold treatment called cryoneurolysis to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help you move better and use less pain medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are having a first-time knee replacement on one knee only

This trial tests a cold therapy approach (cryopressotherapy) to improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help reduce pain and swelling so you can move better sooner.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain and swelling after total knee replacement: a special cold wrap (cryocuff) versus a standard ice pack. You'll help researchers understand which method works better for your recovery.
This study tests whether applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) after knee replacement surgery helps patients need fewer opioid pain medications than standard care alone. If cryotherapy works, it could help you manage pain more safely after surgery.
This trial tests a cold therapy on nerves before knee replacement to reduce pain. It may help you recover with less discomfort after surgery.
This trial tests if freezing a nerve near the shoulder before surgery can reduce pain after a reverse total shoulder replacement. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study compares different cold therapy programs to see which works best for pain and swelling after total knee replacement. Everyone in the study receives cold therapy, and the researchers will track recovery outcomes.
