Summary

This study tests whether helping people with insomnia sleep better before knee or hip replacement surgery can reduce pain and improve recovery afterward. One hundred adults scheduled for surgery will receive either cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia or sleep education for four weeks before their operation. Researchers will track pain, sleep, and recovery for a year after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and sleep education therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve pain control and recovery after joint replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. The sleep interventions may not significantly improve pain or recovery, and results may not apply to everyone.
