It is a trial on pain in the emergency setting using acupuncture.
Results have been submitted to a journal already and under review.
I thought it would be helpful to publish the protocol as well but the main journals such as Trials and BMJ open don't accept them post completion of the trial.
I am not sure, if any of the journals would accept post completion registration. If the paper is already sent out for review, I do not see the need for protocol publication at this time. Some journals request authors to submit the protocol as a supplementary file, if it has not already been published. You can submit the protocol to the same journal as a supplemental digital content.

There are open-access (OA) journals that encourage the submission and publication of protocols, such as BMJ Open, JMIR Research Protocols, and Trials.
