Objective To investigate the effect of cryotherapy after elbow arthrolysis on elbow pain, blood loss, analgesic consumption, range of motion, and long-term elbow function. Design Prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study. Setting University hospital. Participants Patients (N=59; 27 women, 32 men) who received elbow arthrolysis. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned into a cryotherapy group (n=31, cryotherapy plus standard care) or a control group (n=28, standard care). Main Outcome Measures Elbow pain at rest and in motion were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) on postoperative day (POD) 1 to POD 7 and at 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery. Blood loss and analgesic consumption were recorded postoperatively. Elbow range of motion (ROM) was measured before surgery and on POD 1, POD 7, and 3 months after surgery. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) was evaluated preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. Results VAS scores were significantly lower in the cryotherapy group during the first 7 PODs, both at rest and in motion (P<.05 there were no significant differences between the groups in vas scores at weeks and months after surgery. less sufentanil was consumed by cryotherapy group than control for pain relief found blood loss rom meps>.05). Conclusions Cryotherapy is effective in relieving pain and reducing analgesic consumption for patients received elbow arthrolysis. The application of cryotherapy will not affect blood loss, ROM, or elbow function. |
