Difference between mean of highest pain scores in the first 24 hours after surgery, measured using a 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS)in both groups.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

Single-blind, randomized controlled pilot study of 70 adults undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia to assess the effect of noise-cancellation headphones on postoperative pain. Primary outcome: highest NRS pain score in first 24 h. Secondary outcomes: pain scores at set intervals, time to first analgesic, total analgesic use, sensory/motor block duration, QoR-15 at 24 h, and intraoperative sedation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Difference between mean of highest pain scores in the first 24 hours after surgery, measured using a 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS)in both groups.

Time Frame: First 24 hours after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Mean post operative pain scores using NRS at 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.(4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.)
  • Mean time to requirement of first postoperative analgesic.(Within first 24 hours after surgery.)
  • Mean analgesic consumption over first 24 hrs postoperatively.(First 24 hours after surgery.)
  • Mean duration of sensory blockade and motor blockade of spinal anaesthesia.(From administration of spinal anaesthesia until complete recovery of sensory and motor function.)
  • Mean quality of Recovery -15 (QoR- 15) scores at 24 hours.(24 hours after surgery.)
  • Mean intraoperative Bispectral Index Scores (BIS).(During intraoperative period.)
