This study aims to develop a standardized tool to assess intraoperative pain during cesarean delivery under neuroaxial anesthesia. The tool will draw on existing scientific literature, expert clinical opinion and the experiences of patients who have recently undergone caesarean delivery. Experts from multiple disciplines will participate in a structured consensus process (Delphi process) to identify and refine key assessment items. Patient interviews will be conducted to ensure that the tool reflects patient priorities and experiences.
