Recently, a pain assessment scale called "full cup test" (FCT) has been suggested for pain evaluation. It is claimed to be easier to use for the patient, and it allows using parametric tests for statistical analyses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the FCT in third molar surgery.
The FCT was compared with 2 well accepted pain scales. Forty-eight patients who had fully impacted lower third molars were included. All patients were asked to fill 3 pain scales--visual analog scale (VAS), verbal rating scale (VRS), and FCT--daily during the first postoperative week. Then the scales were collected and data statistically analyzed. Agreement among VAS, VRS, and FCT was evaluated using the Spearman rank coefficient.
Correlations among 3 scales were very high and significant (P < .001).
The FCT can be used to assess the postoperative pain after third molar surgery.
最近,一种名为“满杯测试”(FCT)的疼痛评估量表被推荐用于疼痛评估。据称它对患者来说更易于使用,并且允许使用参数检验进行统计分析。本研究的目的是评估FCT在第三磨牙手术中的有效性。
将FCT与2种广泛接受的疼痛量表进行比较。纳入了48例下颌第三磨牙完全阻生的患者。要求所有患者在术后第一周每天填写3种疼痛量表——视觉模拟量表(VAS)、言语评定量表(VRS)和FCT。然后收集量表并对数据进行统计分析。使用Spearman等级系数评估VAS、VRS和FCT之间的一致性。
3种量表之间的相关性非常高且具有显著性(P < .001)。
FCT可用于评估第三磨牙手术后的疼痛。
