Reparel Sleeve for Meniscus Tear Pain

This study is looking at how well a special sleeve, called the Reparel Sleeve, works to reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a meniscus tear. It's being compared to a regular sleeve that looks and feels similar but doesn't have the special technology. The Reparel Sleeve has tiny semiconductors that are thought to reflect energy to help with healing. We're looking for about 100 people aged 18 to 89 who are having meniscus surgery. The main goal is to see if the Reparel Sleeve helps with pain, measured over two years, and improves how you feel and move after surgery. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is a blinded randomized study, meaning you won't know if you're getting the Reparel Sleeve or the placebo sleeve, and neither will your doctors. About 100 people will participate.
What's involved
You would wear either the Reparel Sleeve or a placebo sleeve after your meniscus surgery. You'll also fill out questionnaires about your pain and recovery at several points over two years.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
You will be followed for two years after your surgery to assess your pain and recovery.

What this trial measures

  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score2 years

    Assessing the effectiveness of a bioactive sleeve against a non-bioactive sleeve with regard to pain. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').
