Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain after orbital decompression24 hour after recovery

Pain levels measured using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable ; this scale has been confirmed to be sensitive and reliable.Clinically significant postoperative pain was considered serious pain (NRS score ≥5).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Discomfort after orbital decompression24 hour after recovery

Discomfort levels were measured using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no discomfort and 10 represents the worst discomfort; this scale has been confirmed to be sensitive and reliable. Discomfort was defined as "sensation other than pain" and included nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. Clinically significant postoperative discomfort was considered serious discomfort (NRS score ≥5) any time postoperatively.
