Filter by:Intravenous lidocaine will be given at a dose of 2 mg/kg intravenously to patients in the emergency department with a diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. Its efficacy will be compared to 1 mg of intravenous hydromorphone, with a primary endpoint of mean improvement of pain at 90 minutes.
This will be a randomized two arm prospective study to evaluate postoperative ureteral stent pain. One arm will be given 3 days of preoperative darifenacin and the control group will have the standard of care which is no preoperative anticholinergic medication. The primary endpoints will be decreased pain scores and less ER visits and hospital admissions for stent difficulty. These will be assessed by a pain diary completed by the participant as well as a questionnaire when the participant returns to clinic for stent removal. Also included in evaluation of the primary end point will be patient phone calls, ER visits and admissions for stent difficulty. Secondary endpoints will be narcotic and postoperative anticholinergic use. This will also be assessed with the pain diary completed by the participant. Participants will be included in the study if they are undergoing a procedure that a stent will likely be required. This will include participants who will have ureteroscopy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and a stone 1 cm or larger. Also participants with stones smaller than 1 cm who due to anatomy of the ureter or kidney will likely need a stent on preoperative evaluation will also be included in the study. Included as well in the study are participants who will undergo renal or ureteral surgery that a ureteral stent will be utilized. Participants will be randomized after consent is obtained into two groups. One group will receive standard of care which is no preoperative anticholinergic medications. The second group will receive the three day treatment with darifenacin pre procedure. Participants in the second group will be instructed on side effects of darifenacin and given appropriate contact information prior to initiation of the medication. Both groups will be followed postoperatively with a pain diary. Postoperative follow up will continue until the stent is removed 1-2 weeks after the procedure. The exact time of stent removal will depend on the success and nature of the surgery and will be at the discretion of the surgeon. Participants will be able to voluntarily stop the medication for any reason as well as if they have serious side effects from the medication. Data to be collected from each group includes age, gender, race, prior ureteral stents, prior renal or ureteral surgery, past medical history, allergies, current medications and urinary complaints.
This is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, single blind study designed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a single dose of parecoxib compared with diclofenac in the treatment of acute pain due to renal colic.
