Methods: The data was collected using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and a checklist. After data collection, descriptive statistical methods (tables, graphs, and mean±standard deviation) and analytical statistics (ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square tests) were used to analyze the data in SPSS version 20.0. Results: The pain intensity score (mean±standard deviation) of patients at admission and discharge from the medical center was 7.81±0.89 and 3.69±0.49, respectively. The mean time of the patient’s first visit was 3.47±15.20 minutes. According to Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test, there was a statistically significant difference in the duration of patients’ examination by a physician (P<0.001). The waiting time for the first treatment to relieve the pain was 13.5±3.6 minutes. In patients referred to the emergency department, the satisfaction rate was 97.4%. Conclusion: Narcotics were the most commonly used analgesic drug with immediate effect on pain reduction. The patients’ satisfaction with pain relief was ideal.
