Brain Function Changes After Same-Day Hip or Knee Surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks whether patients who have hip or knee replacement surgery and go home the same day experience any temporary changes in thinking or memory. Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain in the short term.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first hip or knee replacement surgery (not a redo surgery)
- You speak Danish as your native language
- You will receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near the spine, not general anesthesia)
- You are able and willing to participate in video or phone check-ins after surgery
- You can see and hear well enough to do virtual study visits
- You will be discharged from the hospital on the same day as your surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a natural pathway in the brain might help prevent confusion and memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery in people age 65 and older. Researchers will study patients having hip replacement surgery to understand how this brain process works and whether it could protect thinking and memory.
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
This study looks back at information already collected around elective surgery to understand how anesthesia and surgery may affect thinking and memory (sometimes called POCD). It mainly uses records and questionnaires rather than adding a new treatment.
This study looks at whether older adults who get a hip replacement may experience confusion after surgery. It aims to find factors that might help prevent or reduce this confusion.
This trial compares general anesthesia (being fully asleep) with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) for outpatient knee or hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer side effects so you can go home the same day.
This study measures whether women experience changes in thinking and memory after having gynecologic surgery (removal of uterus and/or ovaries). Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain and identify who might be at risk.
