A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial will enroll 60 adults undergoing total knee arthroplasty at Yalova Training and Research Hospital between July 2025 and July 2026 and randomly assign them to a Baduanjin-plus-standard-care group or a standard-care-only control group. The intervention group will begin guided Baduanjin exercises on the first postoperative day and continue daily for three weeks while the control group receives routine postoperative care. Outcomes—pain measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), comfort via the General Comfort Questionnaire, and the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40)—will be collected weekly for three weeks. The study excludes patients over 70, those using anxiolytic or sedative drugs, patients with contraindications to Baduanjin, and those with significant mental illness.
