Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Case

The CASE group will be composed of children for whom the medical team will have chosen to carry out a sign of alert of ill-treatment during his hospitalization and with no plausible cause of traumatism

No interventions assigned to this group

control

The Control group will be composed of children, consulting with the emergency care for traumatism, not having a sign of alarm and having a plausible cause of traumatism.

No interventions assigned to this group
