Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
This randomized controlled trial 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 will be conducted between July 2025 and July 2026 at Yalova Training and Research Hospital's Orthopedics Clinic. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: an intervention group practicing Baduanjin and a control group receiving standard postoperative care. The intervention will begin on the first postoperative day and continue for three weeks. Outcome measures include the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, the General Comfort Questionnaire, and the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire. These assessments will be conducted weekly for three weeks. The control group will follow routine postoperative care without Baduanjin. The primary objective is to determine whether Baduanjin can improve postoperative outcomes in terms of pain reduction, increased comfort, and better recovery quality.
