Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Outcome Measure - Pain Score and Pain Medications (6 hours)
Study team members will record the patients' visual analogue pain score pain score on the scale of 0-10 (pain score 0-10 numerical rating) at 6 hours, as well as pain medications given. In addition, all patients will receive a Pain Diary with which to record the pain scores and medications received/taken. If a patient is discharged prior to the 24 hours, the patient will continue to fill out the Pain Diary at home up to the 24 hour mark. A phone call by a member of the study team within 72 hours of leaving the hospital will be initiated to review the Pain Diary for data collection purposes.
Time frame
At 6 hours postoperatively2
