Acute pain is common among patients at the emergency department and is still not being treated adequately. Repeated measurement and documentation of pain is essential for adequate pain treatment. The patient determines how much analgesia is needed. Pharmacological pain relief should not be delayed during the diagnostic process, not even in cases of abdominal pain. Opioids play a central role in the treatment of acute pain. Opiophobia is not justified. Adequate pain relief started at the emergency department must be continued throughout both hospital admission and discharge to home.
