Pain, PostoperativeNCT03731039
Postoperative Pain in Adult Patients.
An observational study of Pain, Postoperative and Surgical Procedures, Operative, run by Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University at 1 site in Poland.
Trial summary
Each surgical intervention associated with even a minor tissue injury is a source of pain which needs to be effectively controlled. Although the Polish national guidelines for post-operative pain management have been published, many patients experience moderate and severe pain in the postoperative period.

About this study
Official title: Survey of Postoperative Pain Control in Adults After Different Types of Surgeries.
Each surgical intervention associated with even a minor tissue injury is a source of pain which needs to be effectively controlled. Although the Polish national guidelines for post-operative pain management have been published, many patients experience moderate and severe pain in the postoperative period. The aim of this study is (1) to assess pain severity among adult patients after different types of surgeries; (2) to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with postoperative pain.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity scores at rest
Pain intensity is assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 meant no pain and 10 maximum pain. Numeric scores of 1-3, 4-6, and 7-10 corresponded to mild, moderate and severe pain.
Measured: first 24 hours after surgery
Pain intensity scores on movement
Pain intensity is assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 meant no pain and 10 maximum pain. Numeric scores of 1-3, 4-6, and 7-10 corresponded to mild, moderate and severe pain.
Measured: first 24 hours after surgery
Secondary outcomes (2)
Anxiety scores
Anxiety is evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - HADS. It consists of 7 items grouped in sub-scales: anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). The answers describe the patient's well-being over the last week and are coded on a scale of 0-3 points.
HADS-A: the total score amounts to 0-21 points (0-7 points = norm, 8-10 = borderline, ≥11 points = clinical levels of symptoms).
Measured: day prior to surgery
Depression scores
Depression is evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - HADS. It consists of 7 items grouped in sub-scales: anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). The answers describe the patient's well-being over the last week and are coded on a scale of 0-3 points.
HADS-D: the total score amounts to 0-21 points (0-7 points = norm, 8-10 = borderline, ≥11 points = clinical levels of symptoms).
Measured: day prior to surgery
