Completed

• Conditions: Total Hip Arthroplasty

• Registration Number: NCT06662981
• Lead Sponsor: National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Brief Summary

Preoperative patient information and education is an essential aspect of modern surgical care, particularly for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). This prospective, randomized trial aims to assess the effects of structured preoperative education and information on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing THA.

Detailed Description

A total of 100 patients will be randomized into two groups: the intervention group (n = 50) receiving standardized preoperative information and education, and the control group (n = 50) receiving standard preoperative care without a formal educational component. Postoperative outcomes, including pain, functionality, mobility, length of hospital stay (LOS), health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression will be compared between the 2 groups.
