Summary

This study tests whether adding foot massage to standard cold therapy can reduce pain and improve satisfaction in people who have had knee replacement surgery. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cold therapy alone or cold therapy plus foot massage for two days after surgery. Researchers will measure pain levels, satisfaction with nursing care, and how much pain medication is needed.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
foot massage and cold application
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and improve satisfaction after knee replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and foot massage might not provide significant pain relief beyond standard cold therapy.
