Summary
This study tests whether adding foot massage to standard cold therapy can reduce pain and improve satisfaction in people who have had knee replacement surgery. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cold therapy alone or cold therapy plus foot massage for two days after surgery. Researchers will measure pain levels, satisfaction with nursing care, and how much pain medication is needed.
