Summary
Unexpected acute pain in an emergency setting causes anxiety, insecurity, and stress that can
diminish perceptions of control over pain and diminish ability to decrease pain. This may
interfere with the opioid treatment and poses the question of whether an anxiolytic drug
added to the morphine titration could relief pain and/or anxiety. This randomized
double-blind group clinical trial is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of
hydroxyzine in addition to a conventional intravenous morphine titration protocol.
