This will be an observational cohort study to evaluate pain measurement after surgery using a new functional pain scale.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients admitted for orthopedic surgery may take part in this research. Participants will be assessed using three different pain scales: numeric rating scale (NRS), FACES pain scale and a new functional pain scale (FPS).

Pain post surgery

Patients who have completed surgery will be assessed with three types of pain scales. A new pain scale, a functional pain scale (FPS), will be compared to two pain scales that are routinely used: the FACES pain scale and the numeric rating scale (NRS).
