Mobile Educations Effect on Pain Outcomes

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical impact of pain management education using a mobile web-based education delivery system compared to standard education delivery. This study seeks to understand the difference between two different education delivery methodologies and the effect on the postoperative pain experience, including participation in treatment plan, knowledge, pain outcomes, and opioid requirements in patients undergoing major hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty. It is hypothesized that a real-time, interactive, mobile education system will demonstrate improved pain associated outcomes and higher patient participation when compared to the current standard education delivery method.
