Breathing exercises during knee replacement care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing diaphragmatic (belly/chest-breathing) exercises during total knee replacement with a nerve pain catheter is helpful for comfort or recovery. You may qualify if you are having knee replacement and have the specific type of nerve catheter, and you’re willing to learn and follow the breathing routine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (knee replacement surgery)
- You have a continuous peripheral nerve block catheter in place
- You are willing and able to learn the breathing exercises and follow the study plan
- You are not pregnant

This study tests whether using a stress ball and doing breathing exercises can reduce pain and keep you calm when doctors remove the surgical drain from your knee after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find simple, non-medicine ways to make this common procedure more comfortable.
This study tests whether progressive relaxation exercises (guided breathing/muscle relaxation) can lower pain after total knee replacement surgery. It may help if you have moderate-to-severe knee pain and can join daily video-based practice.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking anesthesia techniques to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both methods are designed to numb the area around your knee so you need less pain medication afterward.
This trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: local numbing medicine injected into the knee versus numbing several nerves in the leg. The goal is to find which method provides better pain control and recovery.
This study looks at long-term pain after total knee replacement surgery. It may help understand why some people have persistent pain and find ways to prevent it.
