Summary

This study tests whether electroacupuncture, a type of acupuncture with mild electric current, can prevent postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults having total knee replacement. About 1,460 people aged 65-90 will be randomly assigned to receive electroacupuncture or a sham procedure before surgery. The main goal is to see if it lowers the rate of delirium in the first three days after surgery.
