In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is commonly performed to improve mobility and quality of life in patients with degenerative joint diseases. However, severe postoperative pain, limited mobilization, and fluctuations in vital signs negatively affect recovery, particularly within the first 72 hours after surgery. Reiki is a non-invasive complementary therapy aimed at enhancing the body's self-healing capacity through energy transfer. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of Reiki on postoperative pain, mobilization, and vital signs in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a Reiki intervention group or a control group receiving routine postoperative care. Outcomes will be assessed using validated pain and mobility scales and objective vital sign measurements at the 24th, 48th, and 72nd postoperative hours.
