What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether a simulation-based education session before knee replacement surgery could lower patients' fear of the operation and fear of moving afterward. 48 adults scheduled for knee replacement were randomly assigned to either the simulation training or standard verbal instructions. Researchers measured surgical fear, fear of movement, and pain after surgery using questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Simulation-based preoperative education
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, non-drug way to help patients feel less afraid and recover better after knee replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 48 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or hospitals, and the education method may not reduce fear more than standard teaching.
