NCT04148495

Brief Summary

In emergency medicine, acute pain is a common reason for consultation. It is recommended that patients in moderate to severe pain should receive a combination of intravenous acetaminophen and morphine. However, the data are sparse to support this strategy. Thus, the purpose of our research is to test non-inferiority of IV morphine alone versus IV acetaminophen and morphine in a multicenter, randomized, controlled double blind trial in ED patients with moderate to severe acute pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of numeric rating scale pain scores between those who received morphine alone and who received combination of acetaminophen and morphine at 30 minutes.

    The Numerical Pain Rating Scale measures the perception of pain intensity with an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

    30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Comparison of numeric rating scale pain scores between those who received morphine alone and who received the combination of acetaminophen and morphine at 10min, 20 min, 45 min and 60min.

    60 minutes

  • Estimated cumulative dose of morphine in both arms at a dose -by-weight (mg/kg) dose during the first 30 minutes

    30 minutes

  • Frequency and intensity of adverse reactions: nausea, vomiting, respiratory failure, hypotension

    through study completion, an average of 60 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Treatment group

EXPERIMENTAL

Morphine IV and the placebo of acetaminophen IV.

Drug: placebo of acetaminophen IV

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Morphine IV and acetaminophen IV

Drug: acetaminophen IV

Interventions

Mophine IV: Initial loading dose of 0.1 mg/kg (ensuring that the maximum dose of 10 mg is not exceeded) followed by bolus of 0.05 mg/kg every 10 minutes (taking care not to exceed the maximum dose of 5 mg) as reported by the recommandation of experts of the french society of urgency care. Placebo of acetaminophen IV: Sodium chloride 0.9%

Treatment group

Mophine IV: Initial loading dose of 0.1 mg/kg (ensuring that the maximum dose of 10 mg is not exceeded) followed by bolus of 0.05 mg/kg every 10 minutes ((taking care not to exceed the maximum dose of 5 mg) as reported by the recommandation of experts of the french society of urgency care. Acetaminophen IV: 1 g
