The main objective of this study is to determine whether the administration of a single dose
of Vitamin D in the Emergency Department following a motor vehicle collision can improve
musculoskeletal pain severity as well as reduce musculoskeletal pain outcome disparity
between Blacks and White following a motor vehicle collision. This randomized controlled
trial is a pilot study to determine feasibility and potential efficacy (response to study
drug, ability to reduce racial disparity in pain outcomes). This data can be used to
adequately power a larger randomized controlled trial to fully assess efficacy.
