Chronic Post Surgical Pain Evaluation
What a chronic post surgical pain evaluation asks, with sample questions on past surgery, pain, tests, and treatments.
A chronic post surgical pain evaluation records the surgery, how the pain has changed, tests, past treatments, and daily limits before a pain clinic visit. Its questions come from the HSHS Center for Interventional Pain Management and OHSU pain forms, not from a dedicated post-surgical form.
Chronic post surgical pain evaluation, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a chronic post surgical pain evaluation in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Chronic post surgical pain evaluation: FAQ
What does a chronic post surgical pain evaluation ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on the HSHS Center for Interventional Pain Management and OHSU pain forms, not a post-surgical form. This page groups them into six areas: surgery history, pain onset, pain pattern, tests, treatments, and daily life.
Who answers a chronic post surgical pain evaluation?
The patient. The HSHS form asks the patient to list each surgery for pain with its date and surgeon.
Does it compare pain before and after surgery?
Yes. The HSHS form asks whether the pain is the same as before surgery or different.
Does it ask how pain affects work and sleep?
Yes. The HSHS form asks whether the problem has affected the patient's job and whether pain disturbs sleep.
Is there a template for it?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. They come from general pain forms that ask about surgery as one cause of pain.
What happens after a chronic post surgical pain evaluation is completed?
The pain clinic's team goes through the answers with the patient. AI Doctor only collects them and draws no link between the surgery and the pain.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
