Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of massotherapy on postoperative pain in total knee arthroplasty（TKA）patients. Methods This was a prospective study. 142 patients received unilateral TKA were assigned to the control group and the observation group（n=71）. Postoperatively，patients in the control group received routine nursing，and patients in the observation group received massotherapy besides routine nursing. Results Patients′ pain score at postoperative 6 ，12 ，18 and 24 h in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group（P<0.05）；patients′ anxiety rate at postoperative 6 ，12 and 24 h was significantly lower than that in the control group （P<0.05）； patients′ morphine consumption at postoperative 6，12 and 24 h was significantly less than that in the control group（P<0.05）；patients′ postoperative satisfaction was higher than that in the control group（P<0.05）. Conclusion Massotherapy could significantly decrease TKA patients′ postoperative pain，anxiety and analgesic consumption，and increase patients′ postoperative satisfaction，which is worth popularizing clinically.
