Brief summary
Study aims to assess patient-recorded outcomes of pain control medications prescribed in the ER after visits for specific painful injuries/illnesses.
Detailed description
Multicenter, observational, prospective, out-of-hospital registry collecting clinical, satisfaction, quality of life, and healthcare resource utilization from subjects discharged after ED care for a specific acute pain syndrome with a clinician-determined analgesic regimen. Subjects are stratified by diagnosis and by regimen based on the treating clinician's judgment. The registry study is independent of ED care and clinician's decision-making.
