Cold and compression therapy after spinal surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a new cold and compression device (NICE1) to standard care after spinal surgery to see if it reduces pain and swelling. If you're having spine surgery, this trial tests whether keeping the area cold and compressed helps you recover better.
