Pain in the emergency setting is common, and its management prior to patients’ arrival at the hospital is an important part of emergency medical services. Due to the complex integrated experience of suffering, pain should be addressed promptly and appropriately to increase the chances of positive outcomes for the patient as well as prevent the growing possibility of chronic pain. Being implemented today, these approaches are pharmacological and non-pharmacological, with an aim at reducing risks that might be faced by a patient and yet preserve benefits. However, there are still barriers like those we see in oligoanalgesia, resource constraints, and the lack of consistency in protocol compliance to impede ideal pain management in prehospital contexts. Avant-garde technologies, including tele-health and real-time patient monitoring, present viable solutions on the way forward to address the problems. In this review, the gaps in pain assessment, failure to follow the guidelines set, and Multidisciplinary Team approaches are addressed with regard to minimizing the adverse effects of the pain. Further study should emphasize the approach that will help to overcome these operational hurdles and enhance the equity and quality of prehospital analgesia across the world.
