description Introduction: Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In addition to acute pain caused by trauma, victims often face discomforts during pre-hospital care, such as cold, anxiety, and fear, which may worsen their condition and hinder care. Objective: To identify the types of discomforts reported by trauma victims and map pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for relief in pre-hospital settings. Methods: A review will be conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. Quantitative and qualitative studies, as well as systematic reviews, will be included, without time restrictions, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Databases such as MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), Scopus, Embase, APA PsycINFO (EBSCO), JBI Evidence Synthesis, and Cochrane Database will be used. Unpublished studies will be searched in the Scientific Open Access Repository of Portugal (RCAAP), OpenGrey, and the CAPES Theses Database due to their relevance and study quality. Data extraction will be performed by two independent reviewers. Results: The study aims to identify common discomforts experienced by trauma victims and the interventions applied to alleviate them, presenting this information systematically. Conclusion: The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the impact of discomforts on pre-hospital care and help guide future practices, reducing knowledge gaps and promoting more effective and humanized care.
