NCT ID NCT07723742
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether a brief educational video on nutrition can improve diet quality in people recovering from knee or shoulder arthroscopic surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard post-operative care or standard care plus a recorded video from a dietitian. The study measures changes in diet quality using a validated questionnaire called REAP-S.
