Shoulder pillow for pain and sleep after rotator cuff surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special pillow behind your shoulder after rotator cuff repair surgery can reduce pain and improve your sleep, compared with standard care. If you are having this surgery, the pillow may help you recover more comfortably.
