However, how CS changes after TKA and whether these changes have clinical relevance remain unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify changes in CS after TKA and to assess the clinical significance of these changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective study was conducted on 92 patients between January 2021 and May 2023. CS severity was quantified using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). One year after TKA, the patients were divided into groups based on whether CS severity improved by \u2265\u20091 level (improved group) or did not improve (non\u2010improved group). The differences in preoperative and postoperative characteristics of patients in the two groups were analyzed. These characteristics included demographics, underlying diseases, physical examinations, and the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score. QOL improvement was compared based on two different minimal clinically important changes (MIC) in the Short\u2010Form Health Survey (SF\u201036). Continuous variables were compared using Student's <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test or the Mann\u2013Whitney <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic>\u2010test. The chi\u2010squared test was used to compare categorical variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The postoperative CS severity in patients was significantly lower compared to preoperative levels (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The improved group exhibited a lower HSS knee pain score (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Out of the eight SF\u201036 scales, five showed significantly greater improvement in the improved group compared to the non\u2010improved group. The mean postoperative increases in scores for all eight SF\u201036 scales exceeded the MIC in the improved group, whereas half of the scales fell below the MIC in the non\u2010improved group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>CS showed improvement after TKA, particularly in patients with more severe preoperative pain.
