Stress Ball and Breathing for Pain During Knee Drain Removal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a surgical drain in place that will be removed during your recovery
- You are at least 18 years old

This study tests a special recovery program after knee replacement surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. You may be eligible if you are having a first-time knee replacement for osteoarthritis, are between 18 and 65, and live near the hospital.
This study tests whether special exercises that temporarily reduce blood flow to your leg can help you recover better after knee replacement surgery. It focuses on reducing pain and improving your ability to bend and straighten your knee.
This study tests whether a small pain pump placed in your knee joint during surgery can help control pain after a single knee replacement. It is for people who are having outpatient knee replacement surgery and have not been taking strong pain medicines recently.
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 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 tests a breathing exercise program to help older adults recover after knee replacement surgery. Participants practice controlled breathing at home using a smartphone or computer.
