Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The hypothesis of this proposal is that one of the three ICU pain scales has a more important reliability than the others. Such a scale could be recommended to be used to measure pain intensity in ICU patients not able to communicate.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pain Observations
Adult ICU patients who are not comatose with Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score of -3 to 4 and unable to self-report pain. Patients will be excluded for neurological deficits (acute or chronic) that prevent observation of the muscle tonus or movement
Repositioning
pain assessment at baseline then following routine care repositioning in bed
