Objective:

The aims of this study are to assess the preliminary outcomes of the NOPAIN treatment, which is an acceptance and commitment therapy-based treatment performed in the early postoperative period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), aimed to prevent the onset of chronic postsurgical pain, as well as to evaluate the predictors of the presence of moderate-to-severe pain after 3 months.
