Material and methods: This was a forthcoming, observational investigation of postoperative patients who were admitted to the emergency unit later released to one of the healing facility's standard wards. Patients with impeded correspondence were prohibited. All patients marked an educated assent frame. Information were gathered utilizing a survey. Post surgery, patients who were cognizant what's more, lucid, were made a request to rate torment on both VAS and NAS. The torment evaluations were acquired inside 24 hours of surgery. Result: A total of 90 patients participated in the study. 47 patients first rate pain on VAS and 43 were first to rate pain on NAS. It was seen that both the NRS and the VAS can be used accurately to measure postoperative pain. There was no relation between pain ratings and type of surgery.
