TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

This study is testing whether taking oral tranexamic acid (TXA) pills for 3 or 7 days after a total knee replacement helps patients recover better. Researchers want to see if this extended use improves pain, knee movement, and overall function in the weeks and months after surger…

This study aims to find which combination of nerve-blocking injections provides better pain relief and helps patients move easier after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers will compare two different injection techniques in 50 patients. The goal is to reduce pain, lower op…

This study aims to see if adding mental tasks to standard physical exercises helps people recover better after knee replacement surgery. It will compare two groups of 40 adults aged 50-65: one doing regular exercises and another doing exercises that also challenge their thinking.…

This study is testing whether listening to binaural beats (special audio tones) or music of your choice can help reduce pain and anxiety right after knee or hip replacement surgery. Researchers will compare these audio methods in 50 adults recovering from surgery. They will measu…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after knee replacement surgery. Researchers will compare two different pain control techniques in 80 patients undergoing the procedure. One method involves injections around the surgical site, while the other uses targeted nerve…

This study is testing if watching a relaxing nature video through a virtual reality headset can help people feel less pain and anxiety during their physical therapy after a knee replacement. Researchers will compare 102 patients who use VR during their therapy to those who receiv…

This small pilot study aims to find out how much sterile fluid is needed to visibly clean out contamination during surgery for an infected knee replacement. Researchers will use a safe blue dye during surgery to simulate germs and measure how much washing it takes for the dye to …

This study is testing a new 3D-printed tool that helps surgeons measure how balanced a new knee joint is during replacement surgery. It will be used on 50 patients getting their first knee replacement. The goal is to see if this tool is useful for gathering information, but it wo…
