Effect of Cryo- and Compression Therapy After Total Knee and Unicompartmental Arthroplasty, A Randomised Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating cryo-and compression brace for Osteo Arthritis Knee. Completed, enrolled 208 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of a cold and compression brace during the first 6 weeks after surgery in patients who had a total or partial knee replacement. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * What is the effect of the use of cryo- and compression therapy during the first 6 postoperative weeks after knee replacement surgery on pain in rest? * What is the effect of the use of cryo- and compression therapy during the first 6 postoperative weeks after knee replacement surgery on pain while loading, opioid use, functioning, patient satisfaction and general health, and do participants comply with the therapy? Participants will be asked to use the cold and compression brace during the six weeks after surgery five times a day, for a maximum of 20 minutes. Researchers will compare with usual care to see the effect on pain, opioid use, functioning, satisfaction and general health.
