n responses per item and % (of respondents); AVSp : Analog Visual Scale for pain.

Qualitative variables, expressed as percentages, were compared by a Mann–Whitney test. All tests were two-tailed, and the significance level was set at 5%.

Patient responded if they have pain at the previous question (15 in LA/S and 12 in GA). In group LA/S, 1 did not respond and in group GA, 3 did not respond.
