Cryoneurolysis in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR)
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to assess whether cryoneurolysis will help control pain after ACLR surgery and decrease the need of opioid medications. The primary objective is to compare postoperative functional recovery between Iovera and sham arms at 1 month after ACLR.
Official title: Evaluating the Efficacy of Preoperative Cryoneurolysis With Iovera on Postoperative Pain, Function, and Opioid Use Following ACL Reconstruction With Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft

Interventions
Pacira Iovera Cryoneurolysis device
The device includes a hand-held piece, charging port with cord, and disposable components: the nitrous oxide capsule and a small probe called the Smart Tip, which has needles that administer the cold to the nerve. It works immediately by freezing nerves that transmit pain signals to reduce pain transmission after surgery.
Placebo/Sham device
The placebo/sham device looks just like the ioveraº device, but does not contain cyoneurolysis or any treatment.
