Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Cumulated pain (from 0-24 hours after surgery) [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pain during walk 5 m (VAS)


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Cumulated pain (from day 1 to day 7 after surgery) [ Time Frame: 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pain at day 14 after surgery [ Time Frame: 14 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pain at day 30 after surgery [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Patiens operated with TKA Procedure: Preoperative heat stimulation
Preoperative short and long tonic heat stimulation

Detailed Description:

The preoperative heat stimulation consists of short and long tonic heat stimulation. Pain response is evaluated with an electronic visual analog scale.

Furthermore the investigators evaluate other factors possibly predictable for acute and subacute postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty - demographic factors, preoperative pain related factors, psychosocial factors (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Pain Catastrophizing Scale).
