Implication

Secondary analysis reveals that ineffective prehospital analgesia worsens chronic pain outcomes, indicating the need for improved pain management protocols.

Key Points

Participants with ineffective prehospital analgesia reported greater chronic pain severity at 3 and 6 months.
39% of individuals had a final pain score below 4, indicating effective management, while 61% reported moderate to severe pain.
Analyses showed significant differences in pain intensity, total pain relief, and time to meaningful analgesia between groups.
These findings highlight the importance of effective prehospital pain management to improve long-term pain outcomes.
