Knee surgery patients may skip the clinic visit with new video program
NCT ID NCT07358325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a video-based education and exercise program to standard in-person instructions for people recovering from arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (knee surgery). The goal is to see if the video approach is just as effective at boosting patients' confidence in managing pain and improving daily function. About 166 adults will participate, and the results could offer a more convenient recovery option.
