Official title: Pre-hospital Morphine Titration : Comparison of 0,05 Versus 0,1 mg/kg

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: A verbal rating scale of 30/100 or lower measured 30 minutes after initial administration

Secondary outcome:

Time to obtain an analgesia, defined by a VRS < or = 30

Safety evaluation

Detailed description: STUDY OBJECTIVE : Assess the efficacy of a morphine dose of 0. 1 mg/kg versus a morphine dose of 0. 05 mg/kg in pre-hospital pain METHODS : Consecutive patients with severe, acute pain defined as a verbal rating scale (VRS) of 60/100 or higher may be included. 106 patients at all are required in the study. They will be randomised in two groups : group A will receive an initial intravenous injection of 0. 05 mg/kg then injections of 0. 025 mg/kg every 5 minutes and group B will receive an initial intravenous injection 0. 1 mg/kg then injections of 0. 05 mg/kg every 5 minutes. The pain scale will be checked every 5 minutes during 30 minutes. The titration will be stopped before, if the VRS is < or = 30. The patient will be followed during the study until 60 minutes.
