Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to assess the effectiveness of NSS2-Bridge in postoperative pain management in comparison to Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA).


Clinical Trial Description

There is an urgent need for effective, safe, and low-cost nonpharmacologic treatments for postoperative pain. This study aims to measure the implementation and effectiveness of Masimo Bridge versus Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA). The Bridge device requires less provider training and delivers treatment for 5 days whereas BFA requires provider training and maintenance of competence, and the duration of effects are unknown. We expect that implementation and effectiveness outcomes will be similar or will favor the Bridge device. Patients from the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Durham VAMC) scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will be eligible to participate in this study. A sample of 60 veterans will studied over six months. We will offer BFA versus Bridge on alternate months, and recruitment will end when 40 patients have received the Bridge and at least 20 have received BFA. ;
