About this study

Researchers are testing whether savoring meditation, combined with pain neuroscience education, helps reduce pain and improve reward system function after knee replacement surgery compared to traditional pain self-management education. The trial will involve 150 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty who are randomized to either savoring meditation or pain self-management education for a year.

Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
