Flow chart of survey response rates for pre- and post-test.
Table 2.
Selected surgery subgroups for pre-post-comparison of pain intensity.
Table 3.
Postoperative pain ratings (NRS) at rest and during movement in the pre-intervention and post-intervention group–total sample and selected surgical groups.
Fig 2.
Postoperative pain ratings for those procedures with significant effects due to the intervention after a. joint surgery (s), b. thorax surgery (s, m, l) and c. tumour (skin) surgery (s).
Pain intensity distribution is displayed using boxplots and statistically tested with Mann-Whitney-U-test; proportion above NRS-cutoffs is displayed using barcharts and statistically tested with chi-square test; ** p<0.01, * p<0.05, T p<0.10.
Table 4.
Pain at rest and pain during movement in the pre-intervention and post-intervention phase in patients with preoperative pain below cutoff and patients with preoperative pain above cutoff.

Severity of symptoms associated with pain and pain treatment for surgical subgroups with differences in pain ratings after intervention.
