Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Intramuscular ketorolac compared to subcutaneous tramadol in the initial emergency treatment of renal colic].
To compare the efficacy and safety of two analgesics (tramadol and ketorolac) for initial emergency treatment of renal colic. ⋯ Both ketorolac (30 mg i.m.) and tramadol (1 mg/kg s.c.) are effective in the initial treatment of renal colic. Both drugs have an efficacy greater than 80% when used separately and almost 100% when used in combination. The analgesic effect of ketorolac is observed earlier than that of tramadol.
