Anxiety and Frailty in Older Adults Having Hip Replacement
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study watches how nervous patients feel before hip replacement surgery and how that connects to their overall strength and ability to bounce back. Researchers want to understand whether anxiety levels and frailty affect each other in older adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at frailty in people who have had a planned hip or knee replacement. It aims to understand how frailty affects recovery.
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being physically weak and less resilient) before hip or knee replacement surgery affects thinking and memory problems after surgery in older adults. It aims to help identify patients who may need extra support.
This study looks at how anxiety might affect recovery after knee or hip replacement surgery. If you are scheduled for surgery and have some anxiety, your participation could help doctors understand how to support patients better.
This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset during hip replacement surgery can help older adults feel less anxious and reduce confusion after the operation. It's for people having hip surgery with a spinal or epidural block, rather than general anesthesia.
