Seven hundred adult patients were enrolled. During opioid titration, patients were asked every 10 min to rate pain intensity on a NRS and to indicate the degree of pain improvement on a 5-point Likert scale from ‘no improvement’ to ‘complete pain relief’. Patients whose NRS was higher than 4/10 received intravenous opioids until their pain intensity declined to 4/10 or lower. Upon arrival to the postanesthesia care unit, postsurgical patients rated their baseline pain intensity on both a 0–10 NRS and on a 4-point verbal scale. We aimed to establish the meaning to patients of declines in pain intensity and percent pain reduction.
