Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomized controlled trial with three treatment groups, two intervention groups and one control group

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Investigators

Observer/Investigators are unaware of the treatment arm of each patient. Patients cannot be blinded, due to the obvious treatment intervention (manual lymphatic drainage 15 minutes for 5 days).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

Standard pre- and postoperative physical therapy without manual lymphatic drainage.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Manual lymphatic drainage before and after knee replacement

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a form of physical therapy with the primary goal of accelerating lymphatic drainage.

In this study, the manual lymphatic drainage is applied by experienced physical therapists 5 days in a row for 30 minutes each; after and/or before the surgery.
