Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pulsed Shortwave Therapy for Postoperative Analgesia (NCT NCT05796583)

NCT ID: NCT05796583

Last Updated: 2025-03-17

Results Overview

The numeric rating scale is a 0-10 Likert scale measuring pain level with 0 = no pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain scale. The primary outcome calculated as follows: for each participant all of the "average" and "worst" daily pain scores collected within the first 7 postoperative days will be summed: specifically on Days 1, 2, 3, and 7, resulting in a scale of 0-80.

The Brief pain Inventory short form interference sub scale is an instrument specifically designed to assess pain and its impact on physical and emotional functioning which includes 7 questions involving physical and emotional functioning using a 0-10 Likert scale \[0=no interference;10=complete interference\]: general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep and enjoyment of life. The final scale is from 0 (no interference) to 70 (maximum interference).
