• Research summary

  This study aims to assess the adequacy of pain control at home following corrective spine surgery by evaluating:

  1. The utility of the analgesia (pain relief) plan given at discharge.
  2. Comparison of the patient’s pain scores when in Hospital and their pain scores across the course of the 3 weeks following their discharge from the hospital. This will help to identify at-risk patients.
  3. The efficacy of the analgesia plan in adequately managing the patient’s pain whilst they are at home
