Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Degree of pain
The degree of pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. No pain (0-4 mm), mild pain (5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm).
