AMPED Outcomes Registry of Post-ED Pain Management

Study aims to assess patient-recorded outcomes of pain control medications prescribed in the ER after visits for specific painful injuries/illnesses.

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.

1,000 patients with specific musculoskeletal or visceral pain syndrome

• Dysmenorrhea

• NSAID only
  Subjects have their pain treated post-ED care with NSAID medication alone
• Opioid only
  Subjects have their pain treated post-ED care with opioid medication alone
