Few clinical studies have evaluated the use of parecoxib in acute pain due to renal colic. The objective of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of intravenously injected parecoxib (40 mg) versus intramuscularly injected pethidine (50 mg) in reducing pain during acute renal colic attacks. This prospectively randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2010 to December 2012....

INTRODUCTION The main purpose of emergency department (ED) management for renal colic is prompt pain relief. The present study aimed to compare the analgesic effects of intravenus (IV) ketofol with morphine in management of ketorolac persistent renal colic. METHODS This study is a single blind randomized, clinical trial, on patients who were presented to ED with renal colic, whose pain was re...

OBJECTIVES To determine the sensitivity and specificity of limited emergency ultrasonography of the kidney in diagnosing renal colic. METHODS This was a prospective observational trial from December 2001 to December 2003 at a suburban emergency department. Patients who presented with flank pain suspicious for renal colic were enrolled. Exclusion criteria included fever, trauma, known current ...

Objective: The main purpose in the treatment of renal colic patients in emergency department is pain management. This study aimed to compare the analgesic effects of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen and morphine sulfate in this regard. Methods: This double blind clinical trial was conducted on >18 years old renal colic patients in need of pain management in emer...

BACKGROUND Obstructing ureteral stones are a rare cause of anuria, which is typically from prerenal or renal etiologies. Classically, obstructive stones cause moderate to severe renal colic. Urolithiasis is rarely considered during evaluation of painless anuria. CASE PRESENTATION We present an unusual case of a 73-year-old Caucasian female who presented with anuria and was found to have large...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The management of acute renal colic is a problem commonly encountered by both urologists and emergency medicine physicians. The classic approach to managing uncomplicated acute renal colic involves hydration, along with imaging and pain control. Previous studies have suggested that hydration has a significant impact on patient comfort, as well as spontaneous stone passage...

PURPOSE Although non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsNSAIDs) and opioids are effective treatments for acute renal colic, they are associated with adverse events (AEs). As cyclooxygenase-2 selective NSAIDs may provide a safer alternative, we compared the efficacy and safety of parecoxib versus an nsNSAID in subjects with acute renal colic. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phase IV., mu...

UNLABELLED Renal colic is a common disease in Europe and a common cause of visit to the Emergency Department. Clinical diagnosis is usually confirmed by imaging modalities. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) is considered the best diagnostic test due to its excellent accuracy detecting ureteral stones. However, ultrasound (US) should be considered as the primary imaging technique. It is a repr...
