Summary

This study tested whether showing videos of people in different levels of pain helps patients describe their own pain better than the usual 0-to-10 number scale. 240 adults who just had surgery tried both methods and said which they liked more. The goal is to find a clearer, more patient-friendly way to assess pain after operations.
