Summary
Compressive cryotherapy with an electric, inflatable sleeve did not decrease postoperative pain compared with standard cryotherapy with an ACE wrap in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair or subacromial decompression. Pain was measured by patient-reported diaries with a visual analog scale and pain medication usage.
