Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It will consist of a randomized clinical trial with a control group. The sample will be distributed as homogeneously as possible into two groups, which will be randomly divided into a control group, to which the usual general treatment will be applied, and an experimental group, which will be treated with the NESA XSignal device. During the procedure, the subjects will continue to receive the usual care routine.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of the NESA XSignal device in relation to the improvement of pain, functionality and quality of life in patients who have undergone total knee replacement surgery.

Study Groups

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

Non-invasive Neuromodulation

Non-invasive Neuromodulation Intervention with microcurrents: application of 6 electrodes per extremity and an adhesive electrode at C7 level.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Non-invasive Neuromodulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

The electrodes will be placed with the help of gloves and adapted socks for 1 hour, twice a week, until 10 intervention sessions are completed. In addition, depending on the session, an adhesive electrode will be placed at the level of C7.

Characteristics of microcurrents: pulsed monophasic rectangular wave with a pulse of 1.3 s and pause of 300 ms, voltage 3 millivolt and intensity 0.5 μA.

Placebo Non-invasive Neuromodulation

Intervention with microcurrents: application of 6 electrodes per extremity and an adhesive electrode at C7.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Non-invasive Neuromodulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

The same protocol described for the experimental group will be applied, but microcurrents device which will be previously manipulated and tested with an oscilloscope so that they do not emit electrical currents.
