- Brief Summary
Total Knee Prosthesis (TDP) surgery is a widely applied intervention in the surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis, which causes degeneration, osteophyt formation and subchondral sclerosis in articular cartilage in advanced age today. In cases where medical treatment methods are insufficient, TDP aims to improve the quality of life of the patient by increasing the functional capacity. However, in the literature, it was stated that postoperative pain management was insufficient in patients with TDP (Kılıç et al., 2016). Total knee prosthesis is followed by postoperative pain in moderate and severe intervals. Severe knee pain is seen in 60% of patients undergoing total knee prosthesis after surgery and moderate pain in 30% (Li et al., 2019) Cold application is a simple, cheap and effective non-pharmacological method used to relieve pain after surgery or trauma (Hıdır, 2019). This method cools the skin, reducing inflammation and relieves pain. Cold application is performed in the postoperative period in the form of applying an ice pack or cooler packs to the wound area (Wittig-Wells et al., 2015). Cold application has been shown to increase patient comfort by reducing the need for analgesics (Anggraini \& Fadila, 2020).
Massage therapy improves venous return and lymph movement by providing mechanical mobilization of muscles and subcutaneous tissues. In addition to reducing swelling, this application allows muscles to relax and reduce pain (Alan, 2016). Massage therapy also positively affects sleep quality and recovery by reducing stress and anxiety (Dreyer et al., 2015; Miozzo et al., 2016). Massage therapy applied after TDP can help patients return to daily life activities faster.
Pain management after Total Knee Prosthesis surgery allows patients to recover faster and improve their quality of life in the postoperative period. In addition to pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological methods such as cold application and massage can increase patient satisfaction by reducing the need for analgesic (Chunduri \& Aggarwal 2022). Multimodal pain management contributes to the effective control of pain and minimizes postoperative complications. For this reason, it is important to apply both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods together in postoperative pain management.

Name Time Method Numeric Rating Scale, One minute The patient is asked to choose the number that best reflects the pain intensity, 0=no pain, 10= equal to the worst (unbearable) pain.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Newcastle Nursing Satisfaction Scale Ten minutes The evaluation of all the items marked on the scale is converted to 100 after the pu moments are collected and made over 0-100 points. The fact that the total score is 100 indicates that all dimensions of nursing care are satisfied.
