Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effect and tolerance profile of acupuncture combined with intradermal sterile water application versus intramuscular phloroglucinol in acute renal colic. In this study, we aimed primarily to test the efficacy of acupuncture combined with intradermal sterile water application as a rapid and effective treatment in severe renal colic. Participants will randomly divided into two groups. The first group received only intramuscular phloroglucinol, the second group received acupuncture and intradermal sterile water.The visual analog scale (VAS,ranging from 0 for no pain to 10 for maximum imaginable pain) was used to assess pain intensity at baseline and at 10, 20, 30, 45,and 60 minutes following the start of the treatment protocol. Possible treatment side effects were also recorded.

Clinical Trial Description

Inclusion criteria：We included all consecutive patients aged >18 years and presenting to our medical center with uncomplicated acute renal colic. Renal colic was considered if the patient description of pain included sudden onset of symptoms; unilateral flank or lower abdomen pain; irradiation to the back, side, or groin region; urination problems, including urinating difficultly and/or an abnormally dark or red urine; and the absence of other obvious conditions explaining patient symptoms. Exclusion criteria:We excluded patients with complicated acute renal colic, defined by the presence of bilateral pain, fever, and/or decreased urine output (<500 mL per day). Patients presenting with posttraumatic pain, those taking anticoagulant medications or with coagulation problems, those with skin afflictions (infections, hematoma, dermatosis) that would impair the use of certain acupuncture points, those unable to assess the degree of pain using the VAS, those who had received analgesics in the 6 hours prior to enrollment, those refusing or unable to give written consent, and pregnant women were also excluded from this study. All participants read and signed the informed consent form of the study, which was approved by the ethics committee of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
