Analysis of Sleep & Recovery Following Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

November 14, 2024 updated by: Cole Morrissette, New York Presbyterian Hospital

Investigating the Impact of a Sleep Aid on Sleep and Recovery Following Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

Postoperative recovery following a rotator cuff repair surgery can be challenging. In particular, sleeping is difficult given the restrictions of the operative shoulder. This study aims to evaluate a postoperative sleep device that will allow for safe and comfortable positioning of the arm, with the anticipated effect to improve postoperative recovery and sleep.
