Brief preoperative mind-body therapies for total joint arthroplasty patients: a randomized controlled trial

この研究はインパクトが大きい可能性があると判断されました。 OEのAIによるハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文の影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することができ、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に焦点を当てることができます。

研究概要

Three hundred and sixteen patients scheduled to undergo a total hip or knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive a pre-operative 15 min session of mind-body therapies including either mindfulness meditation (MM), hypnotic suggestion, or cognitive-behavioural (CB) pain psychoeducation. Outcomes of interest included pre-operative pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, anxiety, and pain medication desire measured on a numeric rating scale as well as self-reported physical function measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function, at 6 weeks follow-up. Results of this trial revealed that pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and anxiety were significantly lower in the MM group and hypnosis group when compared to the CB-pain group (p<0.05 for all). However, pain medication desire was only significantly lower in the MM group vs CB-pain group, whereas no significant difference was observed between the hypnosis and CB-pain group or MM vs hypnosis group (p>0.05). At 6 weeks follow-up, physical function was significantly improved in the MM group when compared to both the hypnosis and CB groups (p>0.05 for all).
