Summary
This study looked at 200 adults having day surgery with general anesthesia to see if giving pain medication prescriptions before surgery (during the anesthesia check-up) reduces pain at home compared to giving the prescription after surgery. The main goal was to see how many people had moderate-to-severe pain (over 3 on a 0-10 scale) in the first 24 hours at home. The results could help improve how pain is managed after outpatient procedures.
