We researched acute postoperative pain in patients with nasal septum deviation (group 1; 25 patients) and with polypoid rhinosinusitis (group 2; 31 patient) by means of analogue scales (AS) and. McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). High correlation coefficients between AS and. MPQ values - 0,80 and. 0,77 in group 1 and. group 2 agreeably - were obtained. Strong reliable connection (p < 0,01) between AS and. MPQ values was proved. While evaluating sensory, affective and. evaluative components of MPQ low level of pain in both groups was revealed.
