ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special device can help people sleep better after having surgery to repair a rotator cuff tear in their shoulder. After this type of surgery, many patients struggle to find a comfortable sleeping position because of pain and movement restrictions in their shoulder. The study aims to see if this device can help patients position their arm safely while they sleep, which could make their recovery easier and improve their overall sleep quality.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must have a rotator cuff tear, but those who have had previous shoulder surgery or have certain neurological issues in the same arm will not be able to join. The trial is open to both men and women aged 65 to 74, and it is currently not yet recruiting participants. If you take part in this study, you can expect to use the sleep device and share your experiences to help researchers understand its benefits for recovery after shoulder surgery.
