Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group.
* Intervention group: Patients will receive both cold application and foot massage. Cold therapy will be administered for 20 minutes every 2 hours for the first 48 hours postoperatively. Foot massage will be performed twice daily (morning and evening) for two days following drain removal, using standardized massage techniques.
* Control group: Patients will receive only cold application following the same schedule and procedure as the intervention group.
Data will be collected using the Patient Information Form, the Short Form of the Brief Pain Inventory, the Numeric Rating Scale, and the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale. Statistical analyses will be conducted using SPSS, and findings will be interpreted at a 95% confidence level (p \< 0.05).
Ethical approval has been granted by the Çukurova University Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee. Institutional permission will be obtained prior to data collection. Participation will be voluntary, and all data will be treated confidentially.

Effect of Foot Massage and Cold Application on Postoperative Pain
The cold application protocol will be initiated upon the patient's arrival at the clinic after surgery. Cold therapy will be applied for 20 minutes every two hours and will continue for 48 hours postoperatively. In addition to cold therapy, patients will receive foot massage performed according to a standard technique. The massage will include effleurage (stroking and gliding), petrissage (kneading), and friction maneuvers. Vaseline will be used during the massage to minimize skin friction and facilitate smooth hand movements.
Foot Massage and Cold Application
The patient will receive both cold application and foot massage after total knee arthroplasty.
Effect of Cold Application on Postoperative Pain
The cold application protocol will be started from the moment the patient comes to the clinic after surgery. Cold application will be done for 20 minutes and every 2 hours. This application will be continued for the patient for 48 hours from the postoperative period.
Cold Application
After total knee arthroplasty, the patient will receive routine cold application.
