Background.
Chronic pain (CP) accounts for 10–16% of emergency department (ED) visits, contributing to ED overcrowding and leading to adverse events.
Objectives.
To describe patients with CP attending the ED and identify factors contributing to their visit.
Methods.
We used a mixed-method design combining interviews and questionnaires addressing pain, psychological distress, signs of opioid misuse, and disability.
Participants were adults who attended the EDs of a large academic tertiary care center for their CP problem.
Results.
Fifty-eight patients (66% women; mean age 46.5, SD = 16.9) completed the study.
The most frequently cited reason (60%) for ED visits was inability to cope with pain.
Mental health problems were common, including depression (61%) and anxiety (45%).
Participants had questions about the etiology of their pain, concerns about severe pain-related impairment, and problems with medication renewals or efficacy and sometimes felt invalidated in the ED.
Although most participants had a primary care physician, the ED was seen as the only or best option when pain became unmanageable.
Conclusions.
Patients with CP visiting the ED often present with complex difficulties that cannot be addressed in the ED.
Better access to interdisciplinary pain treatment is needed to reduce the burden of CP on the ED.
