Does Weather Have an Influence on Pain in Patients With Arthroplasty?
This study found no significant relationship between postoperative pain and weather parameters in patients who underwent TKA/THA, challenging common assumptions that weather significantly influences pain perception. However, age, BMI, and mental health were identified as significant factors affecting postoperative pain experiences. These findings underscore the need for personalized pain management strategies that account for individual patient characteristics.
