What is being measured

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

  1. Numeric Pain Rating Scale

    The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a commonly used tool to measure a patient's pain intensity in a quick and simple way. Patients are asked to rate their pain on a numeric scale from 0 to 10. 0 represents no pain, while 10 represents the worst possible pain
