This study is testing a program to help people manage pain on their own before and after total knee replacement surgery. It aims to improve recovery and reduce reliance on pain medications.
This study looks at how "rebound pain" (increased pain when pain medication wears off) affects long-term pain after total knee replacement. Researchers want to understand this connection and potentially improve pain management strategies for knee surgery patients.
This study looks at whether a procedure called synovectomy (removing inflamed joint lining) can reduce pain after a first knee replacement on one side. It focuses on people with clear signs of inflammation on ultrasound and checks follow-up outcomes after surgery.
This study tests whether taking the pain medication duloxetine before and after knee replacement surgery can reduce the need for opioid painkillers. It may help patients manage pain with fewer side effects from strong narcotics.
This trial tests if lowering oxidative stress (damage from natural body processes) during knee replacement surgery can prevent chronic pain afterward. It may help people with osteoarthritis who have moderate to severe pain before surgery.
This trial tests whether a high dose of vitamin C can help reduce pain for people who come to the emergency department with new muscle or bone pain. If you qualify, you will receive vitamin C or a placebo and track your pain over time.
