Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Efficacy and safety of parecoxib in the treatment of acute renal colic: a randomized clinical trial.
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. ⋯ Parecoxib is as effective as ketoprofen in the treatment of pain due to acute renal colic, is well tolerated, and has a comparable safety profile.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Analgesic efficacy and safety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs after transurethral resection of prostate.
The aim of this study was to assess the analgesic efficacy and safety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), administered as intramuscular diclofenac in comparison with intravenous paracetamol after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). ⋯ NSAIDs are not a contraindication to TURP and should be used for the control of postoperative pain if indicated.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in the symptomatic management of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a placebo-control randomized trial.
The aim of the study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in the symptomatic management of chronic prostatitis pain/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. ⋯ TENS is an effective means of non-invasive symptomatic management of chronic prostatitis pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Randomized prospective evaluation of nephrostomy tube configuration: impact on postoperative pain.
Conduct a prospective randomized single-blind comparison of two nephrostomy catheter designs, evaluating specifically intraoperative placement and postoperative comfort. ⋯ Following percutaneous nephrolithotomy, use of a small pig-tail nephrostomy tube results in greater ease of placement and less postoperative pain than a nephroureteral catheter.
