NCT02243410

Brief Summary

It has come to our attention that there is not a general consensus of how to apply Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as a tool in measuring pain amongst postoperative patients in Denmark. The assumption is that patients will grade the level of pain differently dependent on how VAS is presented.
