Abstract
Prehospital acute pain management research in adults often focuses on analgesic administration: ‘what proportion of
patients received an analgesic?’, ‘did a meaningful pain score reduction occur?’, ‘were there any adverse events?’ Pain is best
understood using Engel’s biopsychosocial model of health as the underpinning framework, where analgesic administration
addresses the biological and, to some extent, the psychological remit of pain. The psychosocial component of pain is often
underrepresented in clinical research. Our latest systematic review and meta-synthesis (Whitley et al, 2023) aimed to
address this gap in the literature.
