Learning after surgery: can a brochure or online class boost hip replacement recovery?
NCT ID NCT07603362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether extra education (online or a brochure) helps people recover better after total hip replacement. 39 adults who had hip surgery were split into three groups: online education, brochure, or usual care. Researchers measured pain, physical function, quality of life, and daily activities before and four weeks after discharge. The goal was to see if teaching patients about their recovery improves outcomes.
