Comparing two pain medicines for kidney stone pain in the ER
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines given in the emergency department (one as a vein injection, one as a mist you breathe in) to see which works better and faster for the severe pain of kidney stones (renal colic). Participation lasts only for your emergency visit, and the goal is to improve pain relief options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.

This study compares an anti-inflammatory pain medicine (NSAID) given by mouth versus acetaminophen (paracetamol) or placebo after you leave the emergency room for a “renal colic” (kidney stone pain). It looks at whether the NSAID helps control pain better and whether it’s safe for people with uncomplicated kidney stone pain.
This study compares two ways to relieve the severe pain of a kidney stone: a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your skin (called TENS) and a painkiller called dexketoprofen. It may help you get safe and effective pain relief without strong side effects.
This study compares two pain medicines, lidocaine and morphine, to see which one works better and is safer for treating sudden, severe pain from kidney stones in the emergency room. If you have already received one painkiller but still have pain, this trial may help find a better option for you.
This study tests whether pressing specific points on the ear, along with pain medicine, can relieve kidney stone pain faster than pain medicine alone. It's designed for people with confirmed kidney stones and moderate to severe pain who haven't taken pain relievers recently.
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset can help reduce pain in people coming to the emergency room with kidney stone pain. If you have had kidney stones before and are in significant pain, this might be a way to feel better without relying only on medication.
This trial tests whether using a special combination of pain-relief medicines during kidney stone surgery improves your recovery and comfort afterward. It aims to reduce the need for strong opioids, which can have side effects.
