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 tests an “enhanced recovery” approach for people getting total knee replacement, focused on better pain control using regional anesthesia and a home pain medicine plan. It may help you recover more comfortably and follow the care plan more smoothly after surgery.
This study tests whether a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear can help reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. If you join, you'll be asked to stop taking your current knee pain medicines during the trial, but you can use a safe rescue medicine (acetaminophen/paracetamol) if needed.
This trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
This study tests a telehealth pain support program for veterans having orthopedic surgery. It aims to help manage pain after surgery and reduce the need for long-term opioid use.
This study tests whether a sedative medication (dexmedetomidine) plus a gentle electrical stimulation on the ear can lower the chance of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after emergency surgery for a serious injury. If you qualify, you will receive this treatment during your operation and be checked for PTSD symptoms for one month afterward.
