NCT ID NCT03965897
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a brief behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help at-risk veterans avoid persistent pain and disability after total knee replacement. 402 veterans scheduled for knee surgery were randomly assigned to receive either ACT or an attention control before and after their operation. Researchers tracked pain, daily function, anxiety, and depression for six months to see if ACT leads to better recovery.
