Study Summary
Effective pain control following surgical procedures is a goal for both the patient as well as the medical staff caring for them. There have been numerous studies evaluating differing treatment pathways, but most studies have relied on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) or Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to evaluate outcomes. These scales are subjective score given by the patient with no objective data input, therefore making comparisons subject to possible bias. There are no known studies comparing the pain scores provided by the patient to the surgical team compared to the nursing staff caring for the patient. The aim will be to compare these values to see if patients are consistent in their pain rating.
Primary Outcome
Pain scores will be compared between those reported by the patient to the nurse and physician to evaluate for consistency. The visual analog scale (VAS) ranges from a minimum score of 0 representing "no pain at all" and a maximum score of 10 which represents "worst pain imaginable". The VAS is represented as a 100 mm horizontal line in increments of 10mm. Subjects indicate their pain level on the scale.
