Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pain Unpleasantness Numeric Rating Scale | Immediately before to after 3-minute audio recording | Change in acute pain unpleasantness will be measured with an individual item ("How unpleasant is your pain, right now?") rated on a numeric rating scale. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater acute pain unpleasantness. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale | Immediately before to after 3-minute audio recording | Change in acute pain intensity will be measured with an individual item ("How much pain do you have, right now?") rated on a numeric rating scale. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater acute pain intensity. |
| Change in Anxiety Numeric Rating Scale | Immediately before to after 3-minute audio recording | Change in anxiety from baseline will be assessed a single item adapted from the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2. Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater anxiety. |
