The majority of patients did not achieve clinically significant pain reduction, but did achieve some pain relief while in ambulance care. Those with the most severe pain had pain reduction that was clinically significant. Further research is needed to provide optimal pain relief in the prehospital setting.}, issn = {1472-0205}, URL = {https://emj.bmj.com/content/28/6/530}, eprint = {https://emj.bmj.com/content/28/6/530.full.pdf}, journal = {Emergency Medicine Journal} }
