Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pain and Function After Orthopedic Surgery (NCT NCT01390298)

NCT ID: NCT01390298

Last Updated: 2019-02-19

Results Overview

McGill Pain Questionnaire: 0-10 Visual Analog Scale for self reported pain intensity 0= no pain 10= worst pain imaginable Lower score denotes better outcomes Visual Analog Scores were obtained during the following times: Twice daily: day of hospital discharge through postoperative day 14 Once daily postoperative day 15 through postoperative day 28 Once weekly postoperative day 29 through postoperative day 85 Once monthly postoperative day 86 through postoperative day 168 Longitudinal analysis of primary outcome measure over time was estimated by longitudinal mixed models and not one mean and standard deviation. The change in pain over time was modeled by 7.7344 - 1.6013(log(time))
