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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.
Approved

Summary

This study tests whether TENS (a device that sends low-voltage electrical currents through the skin) can reduce pain and improve early recovery in people who just had a total knee replacement. Forty-four adults will be randomly assigned to receive either TENS twice in the first 24 hours after surgery or standard care alone. Researchers will measure pain intensity, how much pain affects daily activities like moving and sleeping, and patient satisfaction with pain treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
TENS device (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to manage pain right after knee replacement surgery, helping patients move, cough, and sleep better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and TENS may not provide meaningful pain relief for all patients.
