Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study randomize patients to receive either a cryopneumatic device or standard care (ice and ice packs) following open or arthroscopic shoulder surgeries. The primary objective is to determine the impact of the cryopneumatic device on post-surgery pain management, while secondary objectives are to detemine the effect on pain, patient eperience, quality of life, narcotic consumption and time to stop narcotic usage. Patients who do not wish to participate in the randomized portion of the trial will be invited to participate in an observational cohort who will all receive the cryopneumatic device. Patients who wish to enter this cohort will not have the device provided to them for free, and will either use their insurance or pay for the device, in order to determine if patients who pay demonstrate different outcomes from the patients receiving the device for free in the RCT.

Cryopnematic Device (Randomized Component)

Game Ready shoulder wrap is applied in operating room and used in recovery room for 45 mins to 1 hour. Postop Day 1 and 2: the unit will be applied by the patient or a health care provider; as cold as comfortable (34°F; adjustable to 50°F); low compression setting; 30 min on:60 min off (use the pre-set auto program); use throughout the day; use at night as needed. Postop day 3-14 and onwards: 30 min on:60 min off (use the pre-set auto program); medium compression; as cold as comfortable (34°F; adjustable to 50°F); use minimum of twice/day. This will be combined with pain management medications, range of motion, and positioning exercises.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Game Ready ATX shoulder wrap; Game Ready GRPro 2.1

Intervention Type DEVICE

the Game Ready ATX shoulder wrap that is anatomically engineered for the shoulder joint. The wrap is connected to the Game Ready GRPro 2.1 system enabling the integrated delivery of continuous cold and intermittent pneumatic compression therapy to the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues.

Standard Care

Ice is applied in operating room and used in recovery room for 45 mins to 1 hour. Postop Day 1 and 2: the ice will be applied by the patient or a health care provider; as cold as comfortable; 30 min on:60 min off; use throughout the day; use at night as needed. Postop day 3-14 and onwards: 30 min on:60 min off; use minimum of twice/day. The patients in the control group will receive pain management strategies as would be normally dictated by the physician/therapist. This may include the use of ice, ice packs and compression bandages, as well as pain medications, range of motion, and positioning exercises

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will undergo post-surgical cryotherapy using the treating surgeons preferred method of cryotherapy, which can include rest, ice, and compression using standard ice packs or bag of ice, a cryocuff, or other such device.

Cryopneumatic Device (Observational Cohort)

Game Ready® shoulder wrap is applied in the operating room and used in the recovery room for 45 mins to 1 hour. Postop Day 1 and 2: the unit will be applied by the patient or a health care provider; as cold as comfortable (34°F; adjustable to 50°F); low compression setting; 30 min on:60 min off (use the pre-set auto program); use throughout the day; use at night as needed. Postop day 3-14 and onwards: 30 min on:60 min off (use the pre-set auto program); medium compression; as cold as comfortable (34°F; adjustable to 50°F); use minimum of twice/day. This will be combined with pain management medications, range of motion, and positioning exercises
