First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether older adults with long-term pain before knee or hip replacement are more likely to feel depressed after surgery. Researchers analyzed data from 575 patients aged 65 and older. They found that chronic pain before surgery may predict depressive symptoms within the first week after the operation, which could help doctors better support recovery.
