Study type | Interventional |
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether progressive muscle relaxation training and acupressure can reduce kinesiophobia (fear of movement) in patients recovering from meniscoplasty surgery. The study will also monitor the safety of these non-pharmacological interventions. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: Does the combination of progressive muscle relaxation training and acupressure decrease kinesiophobia in post-meniscoplasty patients? What are the other benefits, if any, of these interventions in terms of pain management and functional mobility? Are there any negative effects associated with these treatments? Participants in the study will: Receive progressive muscle relaxation training and acupressure or a placebo control treatment for a duration of 3 months. Visit the clinic once every month for evaluation and follow-up treatments. Keep a journal recording their fear of movement levels, pain levels, and mobility status.

Primary | TSK | The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) The TSK assesses fear of movement/(re)injury and ranges from 17 to 68, indicating the degree of fear; higher scores denote increased apprehension. It has a Cronbach's alpha of 0.70-0.92 and a test-retest reliability above 0.80 28, 29. The Chinese version of TSK was cross-culturally adapted and validated by Wei et al.displaying good reliability (Cronbach's alpha: 0.74) and validity (test-retest reliability: 0.86). | Data from TSK were gathered within two days post-operation, on the first day after intervention (i.e., the third postoperative day), the fifth day (i.e., the seventh postoperative day), and on the day of discharge(up to 14 days). | |
Primary | VAS | Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) Pain levels were quantified using VAS, which rates pain intensity on a 100 mm line ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). The VAS is widely deemed a credible and efficacious pain rating tool 31. | Data from VAS were gathered within two days post-operation, on the first day after intervention (i.e., the third postoperative day), the fifth day (i.e., the seventh postoperative day), and on the day of discharge(up to 14 days). | |
Primary | KSS | American knee society score(KSS ) The KSS scores knee functionality in two domains: self-reported symptoms, signs, and a functional component reflecting walking and stair climbing abilities. Higher scores represent more optimal knee function and mobility capacities. Each KSS domain is rated from 0 to 100 and can be considered individually or collectively. | This scoring was performed on the day of patient discharge(up to 14 days). |
