Brief Summary
A novel bioactive sleeve will be compared to a placebo sleeve with a similar look and feel to assess pain outcomes, patient reported outcome measures, and effectiveness of healing based on range of motion.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score
Assessing the effectiveness of a bioactive sleeve against a non-bioactive sleeve with regard to pain. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').

Reparel Sleeve
EXPERIMENTALDevice size(s): Small, medium, large, x-large Device model(s): Reparel Leg Sleeve (full length) Description of each component: Fabric garment constructed of 41% Polyester embedded with a proprietary non-metal semiconductive nano-sized material, 13% Polyester, 27% Nylon, and 19% Lycra-Spandex. The top cuff of the garment has silicone grips to keep the garment from sliding down. 501k exempt: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfPCD/classification.cfm?ID=FQL Company Name: Challenger Health, LLC (dba Reparel) FDA Registration Number: 3012651665 Device Listing Number: D269770 Product Classification: Class I Medical Device, 510(k) exempt Product Code: FQL, Stocking/Medical Support
Placebo Sleeve
PLACEBO COMPARATORDevice size(s): Small, medium, large, x-large Device model(s): Generic Black Leg Sleeve Supplier: Jupin Group Co., Ltd. Description of each component: Fabric garment constructed of 80% polyester and 20% lycra
Interventions
For the purpose of this study, the Reparel Sleeve will be evaluated against a placebo sleeve of similar feel, texture, and look. The indication is that due to its technology, the Reparel sleeve will allow for the ability to reflect energy using a blend of semi-conductors grounded to nanoparticles interwoven between fibers of the sleeve. Thermal energy is then absorbed from the patient thus activating electrons on the nanoparticles and releasing photonic energy directed at tissues within the surrounding area7. This photostimulation is expected to alleviate pain and inflammation while promoting wound healing as well as tissue regeneration.
Generic sleeve used as a placebo. This placebo will have a similar feel, texture, and look with no additional technology.

- Masking Details
- The Biostatistics Unit will develop and implement the randomization procedure using the Biostatistics Randomization Management System (BRMS). The Biostatistics Randomization Management System (BRMS) is a secure, HIPAA-compliant, web-based application that allows investigators to randomize subjects into randomized clinical trials (RCTs) using their personal computer. The BRMS allows for multi-center, stratified, and single/double blinded RCTs, using permuted blocks. Randomization notifications (respectful of blinding status) are automatically sent to the PI and other authorized personnel. BRMS includes a feature that allows for medically indicated breaking of the blind, with requirement for justification. BRMS includes an audit trail of all transactions.
