What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of a comprehensive training program that includes pain management, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, massage, and fall prevention for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Participants will receive face-to-face training and access to telemedicine resources with instructional videos. Evaluations will occur on the first postoperative day and three months post-surgery to assess the program's impact on recovery and pain management.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 50 and over who are scheduled for unilateral or bilateral total knee arthroplasty.
Not a fit: Patients with other surgeries, neurological or orthopedic conditions, cognitive impairments, or those who are illiterate may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance recovery and pain management for patients after knee surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific combination of relaxation methods in knee arthroplasty patients is relatively novel.
