研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this observational pilot study is to evaluate whether video-based visual scenarios representing different levels of pain are preferred over the traditional Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) by postoperative patients. The study also investigates the clarity and interpretability of both methods and examines the level of agreement between the selected video and the reported NRS score.
详细描述
This prospective, observational, single-center pilot study evaluates the usability and preference of a novel video-based pain expression method compared to the standard Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in postoperative adult patients. Videos representing 5 different pain intensities (NRS 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10) were created using AI-assisted scenario generation and VEO-3 video production tools. Each video features age- and sex-matched models (male and female in three age categories: 18-44, 45-65, >65 years) demonstrating realistic, simulated pain expressions.
In the recovery unit, patients aged 18 and above will be shown the video series and asked to:
Select the video that best reflects their current pain
Report their pain using the NRS
Indicate which method (video or NRS) they prefer for expressing pain

结局指标
主要结局
Patient Preference Between Video-Based and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Assessment Methods
时间窗: Immediately after postoperative evaluation in the recovery unit (within 1 hour after surgery)
This outcome evaluates which pain assessment method patients prefer after being exposed to both the video-based pain expression scenarios and the traditional NRS scale. Patients will be asked, "Which method did you prefer to express your pain?" and their answers (Video or NRS) will be recorded. The result will be reported as the proportion of participants preferring each method.
次要结局
- Concordance Between Selected Video and Reported NRS Score(Immediately after postoperative evaluation)
- Perceived Clarity of Pain Assessment Methods(Immediately after postoperative evaluation)
- Influence of Demographics on Method Preference(Immediately after postoperative evaluation)
