Summary

The goal of this clinical trial study is to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy in reducing kinesiophobia and improving Clinical outcomes in postoperative patients following total hip arthroplasty The main question it aims to answer is: Does the addition of cognitive behavioral therapy to standard physical therapy rehabilitation exercise reduce kinesiophobia and pain while improving functional mobility and quality of life in postoperative patients after total hip arthroplasty ? Participants will be divided into two groups to be compared: the first group (Control group) will only receive standard physical therapy rehabilitation exercises , consistent with routine post-total hip arthroplasty care, while the second group ( experimental group) will receive the same program in addition to cognitive behavioral therapy.

Detailed description

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychological therapy that helps individuals modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve emotions and functioning (American Psychological Association , 2017). Emerging studies have shown that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in reducing kinesiophobia in postoperative patients after joint athroplasty , with recent evidence specifically in total knee arthroplasty (Sun Et al.,2020). Thus ,the investigators hypothesize that adding cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to a standard physical therapy rehabilitation program will improve kinesiophobia and clinical outcomes after total hip arthroplasty.
