Can relaxation exercises boost recovery after knee replacement?
NCT ID NCT07705971
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well people stick to two different home-based programs after total knee replacement surgery: standard physiotherapy exercises and a program that adds music-assisted progressive muscle relaxation. Researchers want to see if adding relaxation improves adherence and leads to better outcomes like less pain, better movement, and improved sleep and mood. The study involves 50 adults aged 50 to 75 who are scheduled for knee replacement.
