Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Subject Reported Worst Pain Score in Daily Diaries Using the Worst Pain Item of the Modified Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (m-BPI-sf)
Time Frame: 48 hours after surgery
The mBPI-SF is a self administered questionnaire developed to assess pain severity and pain interference with functional activities during a 24-hour period prior to evaluation. For the Worst Pain item of the m-BPI-sf scale (11 point Likert scale; range: 0 \[no pain\] to 10 \[pain as bad as you can imagine\]), subjects were asked to rate their pain by marking an "X" in one of the ten boxes that best described their pain at its worst in the last 24 hours post surgery and at least 12 hours after discontinuation of the peripheral nerve block or neuroaxial block.
