Among the risk factors studied for persistent pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), catastrophizing stands out above others. In this regard, preoperative interventions based on neuroscience education or multimodal physiotherapy have been shown to be effective in reducing catastrophizing. The present qualitative study aims explore perioperative experiences of high participants undergoing surgery. Comparisons will made between those who received, and did not receive a intervention. Based...
