First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to standard physical therapy helps people who have had a hip replacement overcome fear of movement and improve their recovery. One hundred participants will be split into two groups: one gets standard rehab exercises, the other gets the same exercises plus four CBT sessions over 12 weeks. The goal is to see if CBT reduces fear, pain, and disability, and improves quality of life.
