Cold and Compression Therapy After Rotator Cuff Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using cold therapy and compression after rotator cuff repair surgery helps reduce pain and swelling during recovery. You would receive this special treatment as part of your regular physical therapy at a specific Ochsner location.

This study will test if adding cold and compression therapy after knee replacement surgery can help with pain, swelling, and recovery. You may qualify if you are 50 or older and having a knee replacement with a specific surgeon.
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 study compares a type of arm exercise that uses a blood-pressure cuff to standard exercise after rotator cuff repair surgery. The goal is to see if this cuff-based exercise helps you recover strength and function better after surgery.
This study tests whether a high-intensity laser treatment can help reduce pain and improve recovery after rotator cuff surgery. You would receive the laser therapy along with your usual post-surgery care to see if it helps you feel better faster.
This study tests whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
This study tests whether adding a special type of exercise (using a band to lightly restrict blood flow in the arm) during recovery from rotator cuff surgery can help reduce pain. It may be a way to improve pain relief without extra medication.
