Patients undergoing knee replacement surgery and who have high levels of pain catastrophizing
are at risk for poor outcome. The clinical trial is designed to determine if a pain coping
skills training intervention delivered by physical therapists and supervised by psychologists
is more effective at reducing pain and improving function and is more cost effective than
arthritis education or usual care.

Approximately 25% of patients following knee arthroplasty have disabling pain following
apparently successful surgery. Recent research suggests that pain catastrophizing plays a key
role in determining which patients with knee arthroplasty have a poor outcome. In addition to
this evidence, a substantial literature suggests that pain coping skills training is
effective for patients with chronic pain but the intervention has not been studied for
surgical patients with severe arthritic knee pain. We designed the Knee Arthroplasty pain
coping Skills Training (KASTPain) trial to address this research need. This Phase III
three-arm randomized clinical trial seeks to combine a strong and diverse group of
researchers to examine an important and understudied area in the joint arthroplasty
literature. The KASTPain trial will be the first to examine the utility of a perioperative
pain coping intervention for this substantial population of patients.
