This study is looking at how well cold therapy and compression work after surgery for rotator cuff tears. It compares standard care (which includes hydrocodone/APAP 7.5 mg for pain and ice packs) with a combination of advanced cold therapy and dynamic compression. The main goal is to see if the cold and compression group has less pain after surgery. You may be able to join if you are 35 or older, having rotator cuff repair surgery with specific doctors at Ochsner Kenner, and will do your physical therapy at OTW Driftwood. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 90 participants. It compares two groups: one receiving standard care and another receiving cold and compression therapy.

Follow-up

Your pain will be tracked for 6 months after your rotator cuff repair surgery.
