Summary
This study tests whether a new pain scale that considers both pain level and ability to move can better guide when to give extra painkillers after surgery. About 76 adults having scheduled surgery will be randomly assigned to receive rescue pain medication based on either the standard pain scale or the new combined scale. The goal is to see if the new approach reduces unnecessary opioid use while still controlling pain effectively.
