Cold Therapy May Reduce Pain, Narcotic Use After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair .
Cold therapy may help reduce postoperative pain and narcotic use following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, according to recent findings. Patients who received structured cryotherapy demonstrated improved pain control and required fewer opioid medications during early recovery compared with standard postoperative care alone. By decreasing local inflammation and modulating pain signaling, cold therapy may support enhanced comfort while helping reduce reliance on narcotic analgesics. These results align with broader efforts to optimize multimodal pain management strategies and limit opioid exposure following orthopedic procedures. Incorporating cryotherapy into postoperative protocols may represent a simple, non-pharmacologic approach to improving recovery and supporting safer pain control after rotator cuff repair.
