NCT ID NCT07696650
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a 3-month virtual program called Choose to Move Replacement Ready for people on waitlists for hip or knee replacement due to osteoarthritis. The program offers choice-based physical activity and group support to help participants stay active, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Researchers will track whether the program is practical and whether it leads to better health outcomes during the waiting period.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Choose to Move Replacement Ready (a 3-month choice-based health-promoting program with activity coaching and group meetings)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could help people waiting for joint replacement surgery stay active, reduce pain, and improve quality of life while they wait.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study without a control group, so any benefits seen may not be due to the program itself. Results may not apply to all patients.
