TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

This study compared two physical therapy techniques to see which works better for people recovering from total knee replacement surgery. Researchers tested a tool-assisted soft tissue mobilization (a scraping technique) against a deep cross-fiber massage. They measured which meth…

This study tested whether adding two specific nerve blocks to standard pain management could help patients after total knee replacement. Researchers compared 244 patients who received the extra nerve blocks to those who did not. The main goals were to see if this approach reduced…

This study looked at whether using a posture-correcting brace and an activity tracker could help people recover better after total knee replacement surgery. It involved 20 adults aged 40-60 who had recently undergone the surgery. The goal was to see if these devices could improve…

This small pilot study tested if a mindfulness meditation program given before knee replacement surgery could help patients feel better mentally and physically after their operation. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to either receive the meditation training before surgery o…

This study looked back at past patient records to compare different nerve-blocking techniques used for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Researchers analyzed 126 patients to see which method provided the best pain control with the fewest side effects, like muscle weakne…

This study compared two different placements of pain-relief catheters after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers wanted to see which catheter position better preserved patients' ability to use their thigh muscles while still providing good pain control. The study involved …

This study looked at whether epidural anesthesia during knee replacement surgery causes a temporary change in brain pressure. Researchers used a simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the eye's optic nerve to measure this. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive either …
