What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effects of Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese mind-body exercise, on pain, comfort, and quality of recovery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study focuses on understanding whether Baduanjin can improve postoperative outcomes compared to standard care. The trial will take place between July 2025 and July 2026 at Yalova Training and Research Hospital's Orthopedics Clinic with 60 participants randomly assigned into two groups. One group will perform supervised Baduanjin exercises daily starting on the first day after surgery and continuing for three weeks. These exercises consist of eight gentle movements incorporating physical posture, breathing, and mental focus. The control group will receive routine postoperative care and physical therapy without Baduanjin. Data will be collected at four time points: before surgery, on the first postoperative day, and at weeks 4 and 8 post-surgery. Participants will undergo assessments using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, the General Comfort Questionnaire, and the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire at each time point. The study will monitor pain levels, comfort, and recovery quality throughout the follow-up period. This trial aims to contribute evidence about complementary mind-body methods that may support recovery after knee replacement surgery.
