Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The NSS-2 BRIDGE (Appendix 1) is a battery operated and disposable percutaneous auricular nerve field stimulator (Innovative Health Solutions, Versailles, IN, USA), that was recently cleared by the FDA and assigned a Class II Risk Designation; a class which includes surgical drapes, pumps and power wheelchairs.
This is a sham device which is identical to the active NSS-2 Bridge, but will not provide percutaneous auricular nerve field stimulation when applied.
Active control will include standard of care pain management during the postoperative period. Participants in this intervention arm will not receive or wear a device.
