VibraCool to reduce pain and opioid use after ACL surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called VibraCool to see if it can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after ACL reconstruction surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had ACL reconstruction surgery
- Your ACL reconstruction was not a pediatric iliotibial band type (which is known to cause more pain)
- You are able to speak and understand English

This trial tests whether using a special device that gives cold in pulses (intermittent cryo-compression) helps the shoulder feel better after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared with traditional icing. It may help with pain and recovery during the early healing period after surgery.
This trial tests two ways to manage pain after ACL reconstruction: a combination of medications (multimodal analgesia) versus a nerve block in the thigh (femoral block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
This trial tests a cold-based treatment called cryoneurolysis to reduce pain after ACL reconstruction surgery. It may help you manage pain with less need for opioids.
This study looks at freezing a nerve before ACL surgery to help reduce the amount of strong pain medicine you need afterward. If you're having ACL reconstruction with your own tendon and haven't been using opioids regularly, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether adding vibration treatments to standard physical therapy helps people regain muscle strength and function faster after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. The ACL is a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize it.
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.
