Abstract
Approximately 20-30% of patients remain dissatisfied with their treatment outcome after primary knee arthroplasty. Particularly frequent pain with limited flexibility contrives to reduce the quality of life of affected patients. Psychotherapeutic methods for pain processing after knee arthroplasty have hardly been investigated to date. The current study is dedicated to researching the effect of pain psychoeducation on treatment outcome after primary knee arthroplasty in the sense of additional pain management.Entities:
