Bridge Device for Surgical Pain for Rotator Cuff Surgery
April 1, 2024 updated by: Steven Orebaugh
Evaluation of Bridge Device in Pain Management for Outpatient Rotator Cuff Surgery
The objective of the trial is to investigate the efficacy of the Bridge device in reducing post-operative pain and post-operative opioid consumption in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery with the typical mode of anesthesia, nerve block plus propofol sedation.

Detailed Description
The interscalene block is the gold standard for postoperative pain management following rotator cuff surgery.
However, the duration of the block does not cover rehabilitation.
Therefore, in most cases, patients are discharged from the surgical center with an opioid prescription.
There is a growing need to investigate complementary, non-pharmacologic pain-management methods.
The Bridge device, which provides auricular neuromodulation of various cutaneous nerves near the ear, is manufactured by Masimo and previously FDA-approved to reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
It is a promising technology that could help relieve post-operative pain without exposing patients to the adverse effects of opioids or other pain-relieving medications.
The objective of the trial is to investigate the efficacy of the Bridge device in reducing post-operative pain and post-operative opioid consumption in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery with the typical mode of anesthesia, nerve block plus propofol sedation.
Those enrolled will be assigned to a study group and compared to historic cohort (control group).
Historic control group involves patients that underwent same surgical procedure performed at the surgical center involved in the study, by the same surgical operator, between 2020 and 2023.

Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Bridge Percutaneous Nerve Field Stimulator
The case group (n = 15) will receive an activated Bridge device after surgery and continuing wearing the device until post-operative day (POD) 7.
|
The Bridge device is an FDA-cleared, drug-free, non-surgical device that uses neuro-modulation to aid in the reduction of symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal through application to branches of the Cranial Nerves V, VII, IX, X, and the occipital nerves.
This study is investigating its effectiveness treating post-surgical pain.
