Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Numerical Rating Scale-Anxiety (NRS-A) — 3 days
  The Numerical Rating Scale-Anxiety (NRS-A) has been widely used in research to assess anxiety levels, with its reliability and validity well-established. This scale, which ranges from 0 to 10, measures anxiety from "No Stress" (0) to "Very Bad Stress" (10). A higher score indicates a greater level of anxiety. The scale categorizes raw anxiety scores as follows: 0-no anxiety, 1-3-slightly anxious, 4-6-moderately anxious, 7-9-very or extremely anxious, and 10-the worst imaginable or extremely anxious.
• Numerical Rating Scale-Pain (NRS-P) — 3 days
  The Numerical Rating Scale-Pain (NRS-P) is a one-dimensional tool that uses 11 numbers, ranging from 0 to 10, to assess pain intensity. The patient selects the number that most accurately reflects the severity of their pain, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 indicating "the worst (unbearable) pain". The NRS-P is widely recognized as an effective method for measuring pain intensity, and it is generally considered more valid and reliable than other pain assessment scales.
