The goal of this pilot study is to develop a randomized control trial study with sufficient power to definitely address if a preop mindfulness meditation intervention can improve post-total knee arthroplasty mental well-being or physical health compared to controls, and if a preop mindfulness meditation intervention can train resilience. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is this preoperative mindfulness meditation study feasible at Hospital for Special Surgery? 2. Can we estimate a control and intervention group central tendency and variability to be used to determine sample size in future study? 3. Does a preoperative mindfulness meditation interventions improve post-total knee arthroplasty mental well-being or physical health compared to controls? Can preoperative a mindfulness meditation intervention train resilience (as measured by increased resilience score)? Participants will be randomly assigned to be in the intervention group or the waitlist control group. The intervention group gets the mindfulness mediation intervention prior to their day of surgery, and the control group will be given the mindfulness meditation intervention 90 days after their day of surgery. The waitlist control group allows for comparison between those who got the mindfulness meditation intervention prior to surgery and those who did not while still offering the potential benefits of the intervention after 90 days.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine if there is a relationship between the addition of the genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block in providing analgesia and the use of oral and intravenous medication in patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' total opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery? 2. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' worst numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)? 3. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care result in earlier discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)? 4. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' total opioid consumption in the first 7 days after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery? 5. Does incorporating genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to our current standard of care reduce patients' numerical rating scale (NRS) pain (both at rest and during movement) in the first 24 and 48 hours after surgery? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the genicular nerve block and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block in addition to standard of care (intervention group), or not receive the nerve blocks (control group). Comparing the intervention group to the control group, the researcher's primary outcomes are numerical pain in the post-anesthesia care unit and cumulative opioid consumption during the first 24 hours.
This study will enroll patients 18-75 years of age who are undergoing elective primary total knee replacement. The patients will be randomized to receive one of two spinal blocks: 1) mepivacaine or 2) bupivacaine. The primary goal is to determine which group arrives at recovery of motor function first. Ultimately, this study will explore if mepivacaine leads to earlier return of motor function and ultimately earlier movement and discharge times following total knee replacement.
The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate plus Methylprednisolone acetate in combination with plain bupivacaine ((B-DEX-MPA) compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine in combination with plain bupivacaine (B-LB) on post-surgical pain control among patients undergoing bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to asses if perineural B-DEX-MPA will result in superior analgesia efficacy as compared to B-LB. This study will also assess if perineural B-DEX-MPA results in improved quality of postoperative recovery as compared to B-LB.
Knee joints, one of the largest and most functional joints of the human body, have great features to provide ideal body posture and movement. In patients with knee osteoarthritis in whom pain and functional loss continue to increase despite conservative and medical burden, they are evaluated by orthopedic surgeons for surgical treatment. Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is aimed to eliminate the existing pain, restore and carry the movements, to protect the characteristics of the deformities and the quality of life. Pain can be very severe after TKR surgery, which is very common in the middle and elderly patient population today. In the postoperative period, untreated pain prevents early physical therapy practices and restricts postoperative knee rehabilitation and recovery, but it also has negative effects on the respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, and central nervous systems. Effective management of postoperative acute pain can reduce these complications and the risk of developing chronic pain. In this study, investigators hypothesized that combined adductor canal and sciatic nerve block, applied with postoperative ultrasound guidance to patients who will undergo TKR surgery under general anesthesia, will provide effective analgesia, less opioid consumption, and faster ambulation time, similar to combined femoral and sciatic nerve block.
the aim of the proposed research is to investigate the short and long-term effects of integrating a comprehensive fall prevention programme into conventional physiotherapy on the number of falls, balance, and functional ability among elderly following TKR. the investigator hypothesize that conventional physiotherapy integrated with a fall prevention program is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone in improving balance and functional ability and preventing the occurrence of falls among elderly following TKR. Study type: The proposed study is a parallel group prospective (24 weeks) randomised single-blinded pragmatic controlled trial. Participants: Older adults operated for TKR at Al-Razi orthopedic hospital, who met the inclusion criteria.
Since pain is a complex and unpleasant feeling that affects the individual physically, mentally and socially, it should be controlled. It is also known that major surgeries such as orthopedics and traumatology, general surgery and cardiovascular surgery cause fear of death in the patient, and this fear is then replaced by general anxiety and post-operative pain. The emotional freedom technique is a method that uses cognitive functions and physical components (tapping acupuncture points) to bring about psychological changes. It is also defined as "needle-free acupuncture" or "an emotional form of acupressure" because it is a gentle, non-invasive procedure and uses acupuncture meridians. This method, which is very old in Eastern cultures, started to be used in the West in the 1980s. In this developed technique, all 12 points on the 12 basic meridians, which are the flow paths of the energy in the body, are used. In the emotional liberation technique tour, general anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, fears and the discomfort caused by anxiety are eliminated and all kinds of targeted problems are cured. Considering the patients as a whole in terms of biopsychosocial is the basic element of nursing. It is inevitable to experience pain and anxiety in the post-operative period in individuals who are in a foreign environment such as a hospital and who have undergone major surgery such as total knee replacement. With this study, it is expected that the emotional freedom technique will contribute to the national and international literature on the effect of pain and anxiety in the post-operative period and will be a source of information in the development of nursing science on the use of non-pharmacological treatments that can be used in the treatment of pain and anxiety in patients.
The objective of this phase 2 study is to investigate the efficacy of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) plus Methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) in combination with plain bupivacaine (B) compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine (LB) in combination with plain bupivacaine on post-surgical pain control among patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to asses if perineural B-DEX-MPA will result in superior analgesia efficacy as compared to B-LB. This study will also assess if perineural B-DEX-MPA results in improved quality of postoperative recovery as compared to B-LB.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical performance and safety in total knee arthroplasty using HLS implants.
