New study aims to ease thirst and nausea after knee surgery
NCT ID NCT07336160
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether teaching patients about nutrition and following a specific fasting plan before knee replacement surgery can help reduce thirst, nausea, and vomiting afterward. About 72 adults having knee replacement will be split into two groups: one gets the special education and fasting plan, the other gets standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves comfort and recovery.
