Evaluation of Acute Pain in Maltreated Children

The hypothesis of this study is nonrecognition by the medical team of pain in maltreated children. These children would have a particular painful behaviour, "quiet". The management of their pain would be then unsuited, which could explain their complex relation with the pain in the adulthood. A pilot study realized in the CHU of Nantes on 11 files of maltreated children showed that they had very low scores of evaluation of the pain, in spite of severe traumatisms. There is, at the moment, no data in the literature on the acute pain of the maltreated children.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

    Time frame: 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Comparison of the quantitative scores of evaluation of the pain enters the two populations of children (maltreated and others)

    Time frame: 3 years

  2. Agreement between the evaluations of the pain made by the nursery nurses and those done by the doctors

    Time frame: 3 years

  3. Study of the correlation enters the managed painful treatments and the recommendations of painful treatment for each pathology.
