What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative pain scores

    Visual analog scale (VAS) score = 0-100 mm

    Measured: 12 hours after surgery

  2. Postoperative pain scores

    Visual analog scale (VAS) score = 0-100 mm

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  3. Postoperative pain scores

    Visual analog scale (VAS) score = 0-100 mm

    Measured: 36 hours after surgery

  4. Postoperative pain scores

    Visual analog scale (VAS) score = 0-100 mm

    Measured: 2 weeks after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Opioid consumption

    Measured: the first 48 hours after surgery

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative pain scores (time frame: 12 hours after surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
