Comparing video and in-person education for knee surgery patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of teaching patients about their knee surgery recovery: watching a video at home versus learning in person at the clinic. If you choose to take part, you'll be assigned to one of these methods, and the goal is to see which one helps patients feel more prepared and recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery (keyhole surgery) to treat a meniscus tear (a torn piece of cartilage in your knee).
- The tear can be from an injury or from wear and tear over time.
- You are age 18 or older.
- You can watch videos (for example, on your phone or computer).
- You are comfortable with Italian because the study materials are in Italian.
- You have not had surgery on either knee in the last 5 years.

This trial tests whether learning about nutrition before your knee or shoulder arthroscopy helps you recover better after surgery. You'll receive educational materials to help you eat well during your recovery.
This study tests a digital education program to help patients prepare for and recover from total hip or knee replacement surgery. The program likely provides easy-to-understand information and tools to support your recovery.
This study is testing a new Italian version of a questionnaire that measures how your knee feels and works after knee replacement. The goal is to make sure the questionnaire is accurate for Italian-speaking patients.
This trial tests if an AI-powered educational video before you get up and walk after knee replacement surgery can help reduce fear of movement and make you feel more ready to leave the hospital.
This study uses virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D experience) to teach patients about their care before surgery. It may help you feel more prepared and less anxious about your procedure.
This trial tests whether using an AI-assisted 3D visualization of your knee before surgery can reduce anxiety and fear of movement (kinesiophobia) after knee replacement. You would receive extra visual education along with standard care to see if it helps you feel less stressed and more confident about moving after surgery.
