Could a 72-Hour knee brace be the key to less pain after replacement?
NCT ID NCT07511842
First seen Apr 16, 2026
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether wearing a knee extension brace for the first 72 hours after total knee replacement can reduce pain and improve recovery. About 106 adults having knee replacement will be randomly assigned to either wear the brace or receive standard care with early movement. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is possible, but researchers will also measure pain, function, and complications.
