The median levels of pain associated with a request of analgesia and no request for analgesia by the patient were: 6.0 (4.0\u20137.4) and 5.0 (3.0\u20136.0) (\u0394 1.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.5\u20132.0) for the VNS; 5.7 (3.9\u20137.2) and 4.3 (2.6\u20135.8) (\u0394 1.3; 95% CI, 0.6\u20131.9) for the VAS; and 2.0 (2.0\u20132.0) and 2.0 (1.0\u20132.0) (\u0394 0.0; 95% CI, 0.0\u20130.0) for the VRS.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Children who requested analgesia had higher pain scores on the VNS and the VAS, than those who did not request analgesia. No difference was demonstrated with the VRS. The pain scores between the analgesia request categories could overlap. This suggests that children seen in the ED should be asked if they want analgesia to decrease their acute pain.<\/jats:p>\n
