TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

This study looked back at medical records to compare different nerve block techniques used for pain control after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers analyzed data from 126 patients to see which method provided the best pain relief with the fewest side effects, like muscl…

This study compared two physical therapy techniques to see which helps people recover better after total knee replacement surgery. It involved 50 adults aged 40-60 who had the surgery for severe arthritis. Researchers tested whether a special tool-assisted massage or a deep cross…

This study tested whether using a posture-correcting brace and an activity-tracking device could help people recover better after total knee replacement surgery. It involved 20 adults aged 40-60 who had recently undergone the procedure. Researchers measured if these tools improve…

This study compared two ways to place pain-relief catheters after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers wanted to see which catheter position better preserved patients' ability to use their leg muscles during early recovery. The study involved 44 patients who were randomly …

This study tested whether adding two specific nerve blocks to standard pain management could help patients after total knee replacement. Researchers compared 244 patients who received the extra nerve blocks to those who did not. The main goals were to see if this approach reduced…

This small pilot study tested if a mindfulness meditation program given before knee replacement surgery could help patients feel better mentally and physically after their operation. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to either receive the meditation training before surgery o…

This study looked at whether epidural anesthesia during knee replacement surgery causes a temporary change in brain pressure. Researchers used a simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the eye's optic nerve to measure this. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive either …
