This trial tests if listening to binaural beats (a type of sound therapy) after hip or knee replacement surgery can help reduce pain and anxiety. You would receive the sound therapy through headphones while in the recovery room.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if using virtual reality during a post-surgery knee exercise can help reduce pain and anxiety in patients who just had their first knee replacement. The goal is to see if a relaxing VR experience makes the recovery process more comfortable.
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 tests whether adding a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) to the standard numbing injection around the knee can improve pain control after total knee replacement. It might help you have less pain and need fewer opioids.
This study tests if listening to music during knee replacement surgery under spinal anesthesia can lower anxiety, pain, and stress hormone levels. It may help make the experience calmer for patients.
