An observational study in Pain Measurement, Acute Pain and Postoperative Pain, sponsored by Seoul National University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-10-22.
Sponsored by Seoul National University Hospital · Observational
In the postanesthetic care unit(PACU), patients who are recovering from anesthesia are not easy to communicate with. Accordingly, accurate evaluation of acute surgical pain is difficult for PACU patients in spite of severe postoperative pain. Therefore, pain evaluation is clinically important and challenging in PACU. The pain evaluation tool should be simple and easy to understand for accurate assessment. Among the most commonly used pain assessment methods are numerical rating scale(NRS), visual analogue scale(VAS) and verbal rating scale(VRS). These three methods have proved valid for clinical situations in many studies. VRS appears to be easier to understand than the other two methods for patients in PACU. The purpose of this study is to compare NRS and VRS in PACU patients.

Exclusion Criteria:
Pain measurement by the numerical rating scale
Patients verbally requested to rate their pain : "Rate your pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain)". 0 point is the minimum and 10 point is the maximum. The higher the score, the more severe the pain.
Time frame: 5 minutes after transferred into the postanesthesia care unit
Pain measurement by the numerical rating scale
Patients verbally requested to rate their pain : "Rate your pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain)" 0 point is the minimum and 10 point is the maximum. The higher the score, the more severe the pain.
Time frame: 20 minutes after transferred into the postanesthesia care unit
