- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome will be defined as the proportion of participants achieving significant pain reduction, as assessed by a patient reported score via a printed numeric rating scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable), with all integers between 0 and 10, inclusive, available. Participants’ reported pain scores will be recorded contemporaneously and the participants will not be reminded of the previous score. We consider significant pain reduction as at least a 50% drop in the initial pain score at 30 min from presentation to the ED. [30 minutes since time of administration]
