Acute tramatic pain is one of main reasons for consultation in pediatric emergency departments.
To manage pain quickly and effectively must be a primary outcome of the emergency department. However, pediatric emergency department are sometimes criticized for inadequate and delayed initiation analgesia . Indeed, several studies have shown the inadequacy between the intensity of the pain evaluated by the care team and the therapeutic management of it.
The ideal analgesic must have a rapid onset of action, have a powerful analgesic effect, have few side effects and can be administered quickly and painlessly. That's why, the main outcome of this study is to assess the non inferiority of a treatment by intranasal Fentanyl vs morphine sulfate (oral use) in children with traumatic pain on arrival to pediatric emergency department.

- Assessment of the value of the pain feeling [ Time Frame: 45 minutes ]Assessment of the value of the pain feeling measured by visual analogic scale
- Delay in treatment efficacy [ Time Frame: up to 45 minutes ]Delay in treatment efficacy measured by a reduction of pain (1 point) assessed by visual analogic scale from the administration of the treatement.
