Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This randomized study at a single UAB site enrolls patients aged 10 and older scheduled for knee or shoulder arthroscopy. Participants complete baseline demographics and a validated dietary questionnaire (REAPS) and are randomized to receive a preoperative nutrition education video or no video. All patients receive standard surgical care and postoperative treatment, with outcomes assessed via REAPS at 6 weeks to explore nutrition status changes. The trial uses standard statistical methods to compare changes from baseline to 6 weeks within and between groups.
