Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Swelling: 3D optical scans will be recorded at 5 points in time: T0 (preoperative scan), T1 (immediately after postoperative cooling treatment), T2 (the 1st day after surgery), T3 (the 2nd weeks after surgery), T4 (the 12th weeks after surgery). Pain: The pain scores for each patient will be recorded at 5 points- T0 (preoperative), T1 (immediately after postoperative cooling treatment), T2 (the 1st day after surgery), T3 (the 2nd weeks after surgery), T4 (the 12th weeks after surgery). Pain analysis will be performed using an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS 0 = no pain, VAS 10 = maximum intensity of pain). Edema: Postoperative palpebral edema will be evaluated subjectively in 3D photos using a four-point score: 0 denotes no palpebral edema; 1 mild palpebral edema, palpebral aperture was not decreased considerably; 2 moderate palpebral edema, palpebral aperture narrowed significantly; 3 severe palpebral edema, palpebral aperture almost disappeared. It will be recorded at 4 points: T1 (immediately after postoperative cooling treatment), T2 (the 1st day after surgery), T3 (the 2nd weeks after surgery), T4 (the 12th weeks after surgery) Patient Comfort: Each patient will be asked to complete a questionnaire at 5 points- T0 (preoperative), T1 (immediately after postoperative cooling treatment), T2 (the 1st day after surgery), T3 (the 2nd weeks after surgery), T4 (the 12th weeks after surgery). They will rate their comfort with the applied postoperative cooling therapy on a 11-point scale. The grading scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 denoted “very comfortable” and 10 for “very uncomfortable”. | — |
